IcedTea contains a tapset to use them with systemtap and a testsuite
written in Perl by Jon VanAlten. But really the SDT markers themselves
are independent from any program that consumes them (on Solaris you
would use dtrace, on GNU/Linux you can also use GDB or just list them
with readelf -n).

Thanks. If that is a lot of work then feel free to ask me to set that
up. Just tell me how you want them split up. Since the patches are
mostly independent.

Cheers,

Mark
