%%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%% Purpose : Interface function to  relay calls (esp. trace calls) 
%%           to processes on other  nodes. Some of the calls
%%           are conditionally relayed.

%% (???) Process dictionary alert!!!
%%
%% Since we are not allowed to do erlang:trace/3 on remote
%% processe we create a help process at the remote node to
%% do the job for us

%% ok_to_trace/1 - Tests wheter we can actually start tracing

%% Returns
%%   true		If it is OK to trace the process
%%   false		If the process is already traced, or some other
