oprofile: Determine the root home directory dynamically This commit detects the root home directory dynamically with changes to the oprofile gui app source. The commit replaces an earlier fix that detected and adjusted a 'non-standard' root home directory at build time. The advantage of this patch is that the oprofile tools are adjusted to the current run-time path to ~root, not the build time path.
