Factor out perf.data parsing into a separate crate

I'm looking into building a tool to analyze and visualize perf.data files, and the parser code in https://github.com/gz/rust-perfcnt/blob/master/src/linux/parser.rs would be really handy to re-use. Would you consider factoring it out into its own crate at some point?

Hi, First of all, sorry for not replying earlier. Last few days have been quite busy.
AFAIK you should already be able to use perfcnt as a library and include the parser from there. Is that not sufficient for your use-case? Let me know. I'm happy to make the parsing code more accessible for others.

No worries at all :)
You're right, I could do that. Given that the parsing code is entirely self-contained though, it seems like a good candidate for making its own library, which can eventually be documented and tested in isolation. This also encourages re-use, since it'll be easier for people to find a crate dedicated to parsing perf.data than to find a module hidden within a create that seems fairly unrelated.
