I don't feel like supporting that tool.  I noticed that other free
software supporters are doubtful, too:
http://blog.josefsson.org/2007/04/02/boycott-scancoveritycom/ .

We could use tools like Splint, but it seems to be quite intrusive and
difficult to use when not used from the beginning of the project (to get
an idea it gives 97 warnings on `alist.c'...).

Thanks,
