Right. Mozilla has exactly the same problem. The way you deal with it is
to make sure the test frameworks are in place, and there are good docs
on writing and running the tests, and then require tests to accompany
all new patches. Tests accidentally/implicitly test more than they are
aimed at anyway, and this way the coverage percentage will rise
organically. When it gets nearer to 90% than 20%, we can look again at
what's necessary to get 100% coverage, if we still think it's worth it.
