It's interesting to see how others have gone about integrating 
purify/bullseye coverage - but, as these tools instrument compiled 
binaries, whereas the likes of gcov require compile-time switches for a 
specific compiler... the technique doesn't look as if it will easily 
extend to my scenario.

I'm genuinely surprised that gcov support doesn't appear to be present 
for 'out the box' bjam.
