How to use gulpRunner with istanbul

Though gulpRunner executes a command on a child process, it can get coverage about the command with istanbul. The way to get coverage is as follows:

$ istanbul cover example.js

If there are multiple test scripts, you can get their total coverage by following way:

$ istanbul cover example.js example2.js --print none && istanbul report lcov text-summary

If you run test scripts in the directory ./test with istanbul + mocha, you should execute the following command:

$ istanbul cover _mocha --print none && istanbul report lcov text-summary
