Hi Hagen,

Hmm.. maybe we can add support something like above later - "perf download event" or "perf download blabla".
But I have a different idea - leaving perf download as a plumbing tool, and add --download option into the perf list to call it internally. Maybe it can automatically download event file if it didn't find the file in the local cache.

Looks like 'event-cache' is a more appropriate name IMHO.
Anyway, thank you for the thought and suggestion. :)
Thanks, Namhyung
