So, what is it? I figure it does profiling, but that sure is vague. The SourceForge site is pretty empty too. From freshmeat.net and an ANNOUNCE-2.5.0-pre1 file, I'm guessing you made some user-readable x86 registers be per-process instead of system-wide, but maybe you've done much more or less.
Does it use the oprofile interface? (why or why not?) Does it use the IA-64 perfmon system call? Does it support the Pentium-MMX in an old PC? Does it support the PowerPC MPC7400 ("G4") in a Mac? (if not, what would porting involve?) Does it handle the kernel itself? Does it handle stripped dynamic libraries? Does it handle unmodified executables? (regular, -s, -g) Does it work without root privileges? Does it unmangle names for C++ code?
