Having implemented the bulk of a new ts-coverity-scan this morning I'm
basically concluding that all going via xen.git/scripts/coverity-build.sh
is doing is making things more opaque and more difficult to work with from
the test system, without really adding much value (the commands are not all
that complex after all).

Therefore I'm considering (actually, I've pretty much decided) that the ts
script should probably just do things itself.

And given a regular automated scan run that I'm not sure what value the in
tree helper script is, so I'd likely propose to drop this patch too, unless
other folks think it would be useful.

Ian.
