Actually, winallator is really just a patch to SourceFile.pm that allows 
it to parse Windows "perfmon" output.  You need to use perfmon to gather 
the data, and use the winallator patch to modify Orca so it can read the 
perfmon output.

Blair, I believe the latest winallator patch I posted does not interfere 
with SourceFile.pm's ability to read other formats.  It might be time to 
just incorporate the changes into the next SourceFile.pm rev, and either 
get rid of the data_gatherers/winallator directory, or replace it with 
something akin to the aixallator, but for Windows.  (Aside from 
'netstat', I wouldn't know where to start on Windows performance 
gathering--are there Perl libraries for such for Windows?  Does perfmon 
have a command-line interface?).
