using a MinGW build of gcov 'gcov (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)' --preserve paths cause mangled output filenames. Say there is a file called C:/foo/bar.gcda calling 'gcov C:/foo/bar.gcda -o foo --preserve-paths -b' from 'C:\' causes the file 'foo#bar.gcov' to be output in in 'c:\' instead of 'bar.gcov' being produced in 'c:\foo\'
