2002-12-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
	* updated entire source code to reflect change in the 
	  library for pfmlib_param_t and pfm_dispatch_events().

	* cleanup management of per-event instruction set in pfmon_itanium.c
	  and pfmon_itanium2.c.

	  printed when sampling unless this option is specified.
	* added warning in compact sampling output mode  header when
	  randomization is not supported by kernel. We keep the same 
	  number of columns but the value is zero instead of the initial
	  value of first overflowed PMD.

	  may be reported twice for non-blocking (default) per-process
	  sampling sessions. This is a kernel perfmon buf in 2.4.18 and
	  2.4.19. Need a way to identify each set of samples.

	  validate routines.
