We do both coverage and valgrind testing on CMake itself.  See the 
dashboard: 
http://www.cmake.org/Testing/Dashboard/20070315-0100-Nightly/Dashboard.html

At the bottom of the page it shows the coverage and dynamic analysis 
results.  You can then look up site/build names that match that build, 
and then look at the Notes for that build to see how this was done.

Here is a profile build, and a valgrind build:
