+smem memory reporting tool
+
+smem is a tool that can give numerous reports on memory usage on Linux
+systems. Unlike existing tools, smem can report proportional set size
+(PSS), which is a more meaningful representation of the amount of
+memory used by libraries and applications in a virtual memory system.
+
+Optional dependency: matplotlib (for chart generation)
