Increase test coverage

More tests need to be added to test the codes that not urrently being tested.

It's pretty poor right now:

Start with improving the subroutine coverage

Test the proxy

The current t/80proxy.t is isolated from the rest of the test suite so actually tests very little, and what it does test is duplicating other tests.

Ideally the proxy should be tested in the same way as DBI::PurePerl. In other words, by creating wrappers test files for each test file that set $ENV{DBI_AUTOPROXY} and run the original test. They'll also need to start and stop a proxy server.

Fixing bugs

The official bug list is here:

Naturally I'll offer direction and guidance on any you want to tackle. I've also got a few that could be entered into rt.cpan.org.
