+This directory contains some scripts to convert output of different
+profiling tools into the format which can be loaded by KCachegrind.
+See the comment at start of every script for details.
+
+In the long run, these should be replaced by import filters in
+KCachegrind directly, but I can't promise anything. Partly, this
+is because some scripts are provided as contribution from others.
+
+hotshot2calltree Converter from Python Hotshot Profiler.
+op2calltree Converter from OProfile sampling data.
+dprof2calltree Converter from PERL::DProf Profiler.
+pprof2calltree Converter from APD PHP Profiler.
+
+Thanks go to
+* George Schlossnagle <george@omniti.com> for
+ dprof2calltree and pprof2calltree,
+* Jörg Beyer <job@webde-ag.de> for
+ hotshot2calltree
+
+If you want to write a converter, have a look at the calltree format
+description on the web site (kcachegrind.sf.net).
