+ o -t pp format options are difficult to use. 1) list format options in --help 2) show
+   the default format -t options in --help
+ o "Deleting  old sample file "/var/lib/oprofile/samples//}sbin}init#0" is printed from daemon
+   even if no actual deletion was done. Confusing for debugging
+ o improve opcontrol argument error handling
+ o opcontrol --start should do minimal detection of stale lock files
+ o oprof_start calls op_start no opcontrol
+ o oprof_start not working properly with 2.5 I think
  o fix 2.5 module handling
  o pp tools must handle samples count overflow (marked as (unsigned)-1)
  o op_session should allow to backup binary, see subject "features to make oprofile easier to use" on mail list
  o remove 1 and 2 magic numbers for oprof_ready
- o There is probably place of post profile tools where looking at errno will give better error messages.
  o op_to_source --source-dir=~moz/src/oprofile/ --output-dir=op /usr/bin/oprofiled
    will fail because the ~ is not expanded (no space around it) (popt bug I say)
  o use standard C integer type <stdint.h> int32_t int16_t etc.
  o verify if we can remove the ELF-based symbol size code
- o auto-generate the event C files. They're too ugly. 
  o adapt Anton's patch for handling non-symbolled libraries ?
