Description

The name -f the --enable-coverage configure option is confusing and it should be renamed. There was even a comment posted to that effect in

​http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/compiling_on_unix

"Don't confuse the --enable-coverage configure option with WCS coverages as I did. ;-) It has more to do with code profiling. I suggest not turning this switch on, as it can produce some errors in PHP/MapScript."

Fixed. --enable-coverage has been renamed --enable-gcov in r6527 and the configure --help message has been made clearer: 

  --enable-gcov           Enable source code coverage testing using gcov
