Sometimes we want to record some state of the application when the crash
occurs as opposed to pre-defining the custom data entries with
putCustomData.
Currently we do this by calling putCustomData everytime this state
changes, but that is inconvenient and also sometimes impossible to do (see
issue #13 #13)
It would be much better if we could register some callbacks that ACRA
would call when it creates the crash report.

This is something I have been thinking about without deciding anything for the moment. You can actually use a ReportSender to add custom data to the report if you arrange the list of report senders to make your data collector act before the real report sender... But this is more like a hack.

It would be quite easy to add a hook after executing all ACRA collectors to call a list of custom collectors. But then only the CUSTOM_DATA field could be used to add data.... and I've always been thinking that it would be even more interesting to let users define their own ReportFields... and I've not dug futher in that direction.

A first step with the ability to add data in CUSTOM_DATA might be a nice starter though.

William: Yeah, I would love to contribute code and will try to get something done on one of the upcoming weekends.
