Description (last modified by simonmar) (diff)

Right now, hp2ps is written in rather difficult to modify C, and is quite inflexible. We should rewrite it in Haskell and make it, among other things, more tolerant to incomplete records.

It would also be useful to be able to print some of the results as text, e.g. for a biographical profile it might print: 

VOID: 23%
DRAG: 16%
...

where the percentages are the area of the graph.

This would allow us to write better tests for heap profiling.
