Hi Phil,

I am all for rolling some automated tests into libpfm. It would good to have 
some easy way (e.g. "make check") for people to check that things appear to be 
functioning as expected. SystemTap has a systemta-testsuite rpm built that has 
all the test related stuff in a simple installable form, so people that install 
the regular systemtap rpm can test things on their local environment. Given 
that 
the performance monitoring hardware is very implementation dependent, making it 
easy for people to identify that something in libpfm isn't working on their 
particular hardware would greatly help to make sure that code is really being 
exercised.

-Will
