Could we add something like this to admin/ to make gcov coverage testing a bit 
easier?  (read: does anyone object?)  I'm using this in kst right now on both 
gcc2.95 and gcc 3.3 and it works well for me.

Maybe my code isn't quite perfect, but you get the idea...

AC_ARG_WITH(coverage,
    AC_HELP_STRING([--with-coverage],[use gcc coverage testing]),
    [
       if test "$am_cv_CC_dependencies_compiler_type" = "gcc3"; then
           ac_coverage_compiler="-g3 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -O0 
-fno-inline"
           ac_coverage_linker="-lgcc"
       elif test "$am_cv_CC_dependencies_compiler_type" = "gcc"; then
           ac_coverage_compiler="-g3 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -O0 
-fno-inline"
           ac_coverage_linker=""
       else
           AC_MSG_ERROR([coverage with your compiler is not supported])
       fi
       CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $ac_coverage_compiler"
       CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $ac_coverage_compiler"
       LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $ac_coverage_linker"
    ])
