Yes, this func was really a pain to me :) And fortunately, current
intree "xxx-record" scripts are all in simple format: "-e eventname ",
and this lightweight func basically works fine.

I agree that we'd better have a separate parse_events() similar func
to cherry-pick the events names in parse-events.c, to not make
hists.c too heavy.

And frankly speaking, I'm not familiar at all with these flex/bison
handling, so can we do things in steps: fixes those space issue, add
a "fixme" in comments and push the basically working version first?

Any comments? Thanks
