Notes:
  For the TAU profiles type, you can specify either a specific set of profile
files on the commandline, or you can specify a directory (by default the current
directory).  The specified directory will be searched for profile.*.*.* files,
or, in the case of multiple counters, directories named MULTI_* containing
profile data.
