Read the docs on how to write a skin; there should be a link to it from
within the main docs, coregrind/docs/coregrind_skins.html if not.
include/vg_skin.h contains all the declarations relevant for writing
skins, it's worth reading to see what services Valgrind provides to make
skin-writing easier.

And yes, it should be about as easy as any skin to write.
