profile output for kcachegrind ?

[Sebastien de Menten]

There is documentation on the output of valgrind (i.e. the input of
kcachegrind) at section "output" in
http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/docs-1.9.5/cg_techdocs.html

For optimal use of kcachegrind, one needs also the "calltree skin" for
valgrind that outputs an augmented file for kcachegrind. But I did not
find any doc on this augmented format...

I think that even without the calltree plugin, kcachegrind could be
used advantageously for profiling python code.
