Yes it does.
I kept the format of calltree fully upwards compatible with cachegrind.

I think it's quite easy to come up with a patch to support "--dump-instr=yes" 
in cachegrind. Annotated dissassembled code is always a valuable addition.
For the format, insert a line "positions: instr line" at beginning, and 
pretend each data line with the instruction address relative to the ELF 
object load address.
A little more work would be the need to support this in cg_annotate. But it 
shouldn't be too hard.
Nick, would you accept a patch?
