* Module for heap-profiling.
*
* For full(er) information, see doc/heapprofile.html
*
* This module can be linked into your program with
* no slowdown caused by this unless you activate the profiler
* using one of the following methods:
*
* 1. Before starting the program, set the environment variable
* "HEAPPROFILE" to be the name of the file to which the profile
* data should be written.
*
* 2. Programmatically, start and stop the profiler using the
* routines "HeapProfilerStart(filename)" and "HeapProfilerStop()".
