In a really brief discussion with mort we wondered in pmdumptext doesn't
really belong in pcp rather than in the gui. Nathan?
This thread discusses the reasons for this slightly quirky move:

Upshot is, pmdumptext now depends on Qt4 libraries, and we were
able to consolidate two libraries, hundreds of lines of code, &
improve portability in doing so.
Ah. Thanks. Obviously I had forgotten that I read that.
There should be a pcp-gui specfile snag to trip you up when you
try to install pcp-gui on top of older pcp ... didn't that work?
Hmm, maybe I only did that for the Debian packages - lemme take
a closer look.
Certainly rpm complains properly about it.
cheers.
