Thanks for the note.  I took a look at the results, and the tool looks kind
of interesting.  I assume you used the bash test suite to gather the data,
and I used some of the results to augment the tests.

I wouldn't worry about the total coverage percentage, since the suite
doesn't attempt to test a lot of interactive functionality (readline,
completion, signal handling, etc.).

I don't think this will be useful after this, though, since the tool
doesn't appear to be accessible for use from the web.  In fact, there
isn't any information about how to use it at all, and anything more
expensive than `free' exceeds my budget.
