All I referred you to yesterday (it was late...) was a CVS tree in which I
had built the interpreter with the necessary flags, run regrtest.py, then
generated coverage files.  The next step is to generate one or more pages of
coverage summaries.  Then you'll be able to browse something like

    http://www.musi-cal.com/~skip/python/Python/dist/src/lines.html
    http://www.musi-cal.com/~skip/python/Python/dist/src/branches.html

and zero in on those files with lower than desired coverage.
