ANN: prof2dot, version 0.4.1

[Gregory Wright]

Hi Neil,

Here's the (compressed) dot file from using darcs to get the whole
ghc repo.  It was generated by

	# prof2dot darcs.prof > darcs.dot

The structure of the file is lines defining the edges followed by lines
defining the nodes, optionally followed by subgraph definitions that  
group the
nodes into modules.  If there is a format that would make post- 
processing
easier, I can change it.
