[LRUG] uncalled methods analysis when running test suite

[Tim Cowlishaw]

Aah yes, thanks chaps - I should have realised that I was basically asking about code coverage! - rcov should do fine. metric_fu looks interesting however, and the set_trace_func approach could be interesting combined with some sort of static analysis, but a ready-rolled tool's probably the best bet for now.

Cheers,

Tim
