Not really an embedded systems project, more of a computer graphics
project.

Humm, that could be useful, although i suspect it will be painfull to
adopt. Its been dead for too long and i many of the current .mlt files
are broken.

There is already a very basic tool. I wrote it. But a less cryptic
tool would definiately help. This would also give a good insight as to
what actually goes on inside an RTOS. I like this idea. Take a look at
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/user-guide/kernel-instrumentation.html
and
