Hi everyone,

There is now a functional Coverity Scan for VTK [1]. I've set the details
to "private" so for now, to see the bugs, you'll have to join that project.
I could also set the bug visibility to public if you'd like.

I'm planning to do automatic weekly submissions for coverity (on Friday
nights CET).

Coverity has the concept ot "components", i.e., splitting the defect
statistics by file paths. I've filtered out the ThirdParty directory. If
you'd like to see other modules, let me know.

Right now, there are several hundred "high impact" defects in VTK, ranging
from illegal memory accesses to resource leaks etc. In any case, it may be
worth taking a peek at those to make VTK even better.

As usual, feedback is welcome.

Cheers,
Nico
