Incidentally,

  pmcstat -R sample.out    # no '-g'

dumps a 'text' representation of the sample log that could
be parsed by an awk/perl/python script.

I've been planning a Python interface to the pmc(3) and
pmclog(3) API to aid the creation of interesting tools.
This is, as of now, only partially implemented.
