+Code coverage:
+ gcc provides a tool that can determine the code coverage figures for
+ the test suite. To use it, configure curl with
+ CFLAGS='-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -g -O0'. Make sure you run the normal
+ and torture tests to get more full coverage, i.e. do:
+
+ make test
+ cd tests
+ make torture-test
+
+ The graphical tool ggcov can be used to browse the source and create
+ coverage reports on *NIX hosts:
+
+ ggcov -r lib src
+
+ The text mode tool gcov may also be used, but it doesn't handle object files
+ in more than one directory very well.
