[PATCH] gcov for udev

Sorry for the late email regarding the gcov code coverage information
for udev.  For those of you who have not yet noticed, udev can now be
compiled with gcov support and provide code coverage analysis.  All
pertinent scripts and information can be found in the udev tree.  Please
refer to "README-gcov_for_udev" for detailed information on compiling
gcov into udev and obtaining code coverage analysis.  I've enclosed a
patch that updates the README-gcov_for_udev.  Also, "udev-test.pl" in
udev/test/ was expanded to test symlinks, permissions, and some lack of
node creation a little more thoroughly.  All comments and feedback would
be greatly welcomed.  Also, any extra testing would be appreciated.
Thanks,
