Hey, I actually got a response... but not really a formal spec ;-)

BTW, WinCacheGrind version 1.0.0.9 is available. The only notable
change is that it ignores any extra integers generated by some
[exotic] versions of xdebug (in non-Windows?). I'm unable to contact
my server since it gets blocked by my campus's proxy, but you can find
it here:

(inside the Public folder)

It's now also built with Delphi 2005, uses the latest JVCL and I've
also upgraded the window tabs so it looks a bit cooler (but err...
still has erratic behavior which is the behavior of Delphi MDI
windows, I guess I can't help it for now)

For xdebug mailing lists people, I guess this is an advertisement for
free software? ;-)
