I was annoyed for a while that pmdumptext was moved to pcp-gui. I
thought that the primary reason was to get rid of the C++ code from the
base package. I didn't realize that we also had Qt dependencies in
pmdumptext :(
I had vague hopes that we could make a pcp-gui-nox11 package or
something. pmdumptext is a very useful tool, and behaves much better
than pmval in terms of returning exit status.
oh well...just a rant. :)
I did notice that we no longer support having pmtime within pmdumptext:

Was this something that was temporarily removed, or did someone intend
to deprecate this feature?
