Ok, great -- using llvm-prof for detecting hot portions is the obvious 
use, but I just wanted to check.

I'll keep llvm-prof in mind when writing the new loader and update 
llvm-prof to use it.  I also don't have an issue with profile.pl so I 
can update it as required, it is tiny after all.  I'm not sure if others 
want it sticking around though.

Alastair.
