xmon stack trace tool

["David N. Welton" <davidw@linuxcare.com>]

I wrote a little tool in Python that, when given an xmon stack trace
on the command line, gives you a list of the equivalment function
names by sifting through System.map (xmonstacktrace must be run in the
same directory as System.map).

Here it is:
