Much better than the current situation, thanks!

I still thinks commands like perf report should not be overloaded for
two different user interfaces, that is a

	perf report

should always be the line oriented interface, and the newt UI should be
something like

	perf treport

Btw, am I the only one that doesn't find the next interface too helpful?
In general the line oriented interface seem to present the information
much better, and in the cases where it gets too complicated the newt
interface doesn't really helper either.  A real gtk/qt interface with
a proper tree widget would seem like the more useful interface for that.
