If you did plan to do this, it might be nice to include some 
representatives from groups that would be likely to use such a library.  
This might include the PAPI library developers, and there are various 
other tools (especially in the HPC area) who are coding to 
perf_event_open() directly but probably would like to use a library 
instead if possible.
