(Get the code!)

I found the root cause. When no CPU-measurement sampling facility is detected,
this error is printed first:
No CPU-measurement sampling facility detected
regardless of any command line options specified. Then program then exits.
This happened during the rewrite from perl to C.
When the CPU-measurement sampling facility is available and detected,
the command line options -h and -v are properly processed.
This error shows up only when no CPU-measurement sampling
facility is detected. Without any installed CPU-measurement sampling
facility, you can not change the CPU-measurement sampling facilities
buffer sizes (because it is not there!).
So I will change the code to honour previous behavior and print help
string and version number, even if the program can not be used properly.
