Getting forked JVM details on the server side.

[Vladimir Ozerov]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement perfasm counterpart for Windows which employs
"xperf" utility.
While actual profiler implementation is trivial and requires only minor
changes comparing to LinuxPerfAsmProfiler, there is an infrastructure
problem - I need pid of the spawned fork. Reason for this - xperf cannot
log events for particular process, it logs events for all of them, so I
need pid to filter out unnecessary events.

What do you think about making a change to BinaryLinkClient, so that method
"requestOptions()" will also send information about it's environment to the
server? I.e. it will be not "requestOptions", but a kind of handshake where
both participants share some information with each other?

Vladimir.
