code coverage testing

gcov is a tool to test a code coverage, and lcov generates nice html report
pages from it. Code coverage testing is important to check that the test suite
actually does test the library sufficiently. And the annotated source code can
be used to see which places need more testing and guide in creating those extra
tests.

To show you what this will do, I've uploaded the html report for 8.31-RC2 at
