I'll take a look at the framework and see how we could use it to
provide the tools. From a quick skimming of some tutorials I see
that it would reduce the creation of plugins/code to just writing
some xml that defines the tool, it's options/etc. There's still
certain plugins that require a fair bit of post processing, and
some require launching a tool to set it up rather than just having
a single launch. It does look like something we should explore.

Ultimately this whole profiling unification is meant to help us
integrate better with the CDT, so that should be our main concern
for the time being.
