Looks like they've invested quit some effort on it. Should be
reusable. Only the idea of using environment variables is not
interesting for a generic library since every app wants to
configure its component in hiw own way.

Templating the system routines called on the other hand
as suggested by Michel Andre demands to change the code
on every platform since most counter classes will
not be usable on all platforms.

I guess the library should try to use on every platform
the most performance/least overhead counter possible
and just providing a platform-indep. interface for it.
