A much more elegant solution came to my mind:
I'll rewrite the perf timechart patch to do:
Title:   C-stateName1 [1] , C-stateName2 [2]
and later I will refer to the states by 1, 2, ...
Eventually a:
Description:
[1] C-stateDescription1
[2] C-stateDescription2
...
can be put somewhere as well.

Please ignore this patch.

Stupid that I didn't think of that in the first place.

Thanks,
