I've got it running... make LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/opt/libbabeltrace/ ugh ;-)

...

looks like we need some better string arg handling,
but we'll get there soon or later

we'd like to have single/compact change commits.. so far I think 
we can go with following commits:

  perf tools: VF=2 code
  perf tools: Feature check for libbabeltrace
  perf tools: Add new data command

and merge your changes/fixies into:
  perf tools: Add perf data to CTF convertion support

if we could break the last one into more logical changes
it'd be nicer.. but if not, let's got from here

I'll prepare those 1st 3 patches.. and review your code while
getting familiar with ctf again ;-)

thanks,
