Hi

Is it possible to add a new ifdef which disables /proc/kcore ?

or even better: Only activate it when compiled with -g

Motivation:
* It is useless without -g
  - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/libgtop-devel-list/message/165
* Only kernel hackers uses it
  - "...well, do you, punk?"
* It is a painfull/useless thing for newbies
  - tar cf foo.tar /
* It generates silly questions and answers

best regards
