Summary

This release adds initial[1] support for code coverage analysis  
via the rcov library.

Acknowledgments

Thanks to Mauricio F. for helping me use rcov without its  
runner.

Details

â?¢ Added initial[1] support for code coverage analysis, which can  
be enabled by setting the COVERAGE environment variable to a  
non-empty value before running a test.

```
  â?¡ For example, you can run a test with the GPL Cver simulator
    while enabling the generation of code coverage reports as
    follows:

    export COVERAGE=1; rake cver

```

â?¢ Coverage reports are generated in text and HTML formats.

[1] Full capabilites of the rcov library, such as its various  
analysis modes, are not yet utilized.
