Hurray! It is good to get success reports from time to time. Thanks.

It is a python script for facilitating compatibility with building user
space programs with embedded markers in them. So when a program already
has some dtrace markers in their sources they can just install
systemtap(-sdt-devel) as build dependency and make them build and work
as is with systemtap. It as a compatibility mode for dtrace -h/-G/-s/-o.
But no support for rewriting dtrace script to stap script.
