I've modified a little your example to link against two libraries dynamically
and see different cases of how is self vs children attributed when running with
"--sort dso" and it seems great.

I've tried simple examples just as: calling a lib1 function that calls lib2
function which uses lot of CPU, calling lib1 function that uses lot of CPU and
also calls lib2 func that uses lot of CPU. And things like that. Probably using
one lib was enough (I first played with only one) as it's a different symbol
from the main, but just in case some weird bug (was really easy) I tested with
two :-)

I might be able to test with more real world scenarios on Saturday, although I'm
sick now and I'm not sure how I will feel :S




Thanks a lot!
