In calltree, in some options there can symbol names be specified, e.g. where 
to start collecting, and so on. Unfortunately, for C++, colons can be part of 
the symbol name.
As my options are like --option=... it would work with your scheme if we only
allow alpha(numeric?) characters as part of a tool/skin name, e.g. not '='.
Is this acceptable?
