In the long run I think you'll be better off basing a code coverage tool on
Jeremy Hylton's compiler package.  During compilation you generate
per-module counters that are incremented at the beginning of each basic
block (not just one for each line) and save the correspondence between each
counter and its location in the code.  At exit you dump the counts into a db
file of some sort which can then be post-processed into an annotated code
listing.
