Humm... Jiri,

I was thinking that libopencsd should fall in the same category as
libunwind-arm and libunwind-aarch64.  Both are not architecture
specific and used to process traces acquired on ARM platforms.  As
such I suggest to keep libopencsd as part of FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC and
remove it from under FEATURE_DISPLAY - how does that sound to you?
