Haskell API for memory useage

[Bernie Pope]

I once write a little thing called HighWaterMark:

   http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/code.html

It is GHC specific, and it doesn't count memory allocated by foreign stuff
(ie C stack etc).

I haven't tried it out on a modern GHC, so there is probably some bit rot.

Cheers,
Bernie.
