There is also a script for performing code coverage of parrot: tools/ dev/parrot_coverage.pl. The script generates html output of the code coverage information (gleaned from gcov). Is a makefile target the best option here, or should the script be used? It would be good to combine the output from the C-related parts of Parrot with that of the Perl-related parts, as pointed out by Paul Jackson.
