Implement multiplexing support for using more events than physical counters in groups

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem:

The physical counters are not enough to measure all interesting metrics in one 
run. Some architectures even have not enough counter to compute a single metric 
in one run.

Solution:

Implement multiplexing which allows to use virtual counters. In a multiplexing 
groups physical counters are mapped in multiple event sets on a unlimited 
number of virtual counters. The virtual counters can be used in computing 
derived metrics.

Tasks:

Extend group syntax to enable multiplexing groups
Create a module managing the multiplexing of multiple event sets
Plan timing issues (accumulate or extrapolate)

is there any update (beta version?) on the multiplexing implementation? that 
feature would be very useful!
