Thanks for throwing this together.  I like the idea of using the
timeout to ensure counters don't continue on for too long.  The only nit
I have within the code itself; is there a chance you could give the
'auto_afid' variable a more descriptive name? or perhaps a comment to
the appropriate man page (I assume pmaf but it wasn't initially clear to
me).

If you would consider a few doc tweaks (patch attached) I'd appreciate
it.  I'd be nice if the pminfo help text labled the units for a quick
glance without needing the man page.  And I added the note that setting
papi.control.auto_enable to 0 disables the auto_enabling.

Other than that I'd be happy to start throwing together some relavent
qa.

Cheers,

Lukas
