commit ebde58121d34e30f57ab173bf425244ce0712d48
Author: Maynard Johnson <maynardj@us.ibm.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 9 13:12:21 2013 -0500

    Converge operf and ocount utility functions
    
    When the ocount tool was developed, a number of utility
    functions were needed that were very similar to operf utility
    functions, with just minor changes.  The decision was made at
    the time to copy these functions into ocount and change them
    as needed.  To avoid dual maintenance on very similar functions,
    we should converge the two tools to use one common set of utility
    functions. The main reason for not doing so in the first place
    was to make it easier to review ocount patches and not have to
    look at operf changes at the same time.
