Apart from being the c++ equivalent to cperf, no, there is not strong
reason for it to be in libg++ but this is an artifact of the fact that it
has no official package and the maintainer of libg++ (the upstream
version) has kept it there.
There was a discussion some time ago on the egcs list about splitting it
off into a real gnu package, but nothing has happened since. Some people
feel it should be a real package, some people feel that since we have
cperf its not important enough.
