 * 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()".
