Well, normally (if there are no problematic ABI changes) the report will 
be empty.  So I wouldn't spend too much time on the formatting.  If 
there is a violation, you can just show the raw abidiff output inside 
 or whatever.

Generally, this looks like the right direction.

As an additional tip, check the Python source code, they are doing 
something like that with libabigail as well.
