MemProf 0.5.1 released

[Kristian Rietveld <kris gtk org>]

What is MemProf? 
================ 

MemProf is a tool for profiling memory usage and finding memory leaks.
Its two major features are: 

- It can generate a profile of which functions in your program have
allocated memory, and how much was allocated by each function and by the
functions it calls. 

- It can scan memory and find memory blocks that you've allocated but
are no longer referenced anywhere. 

MemProf works by pre-loading a library to override the C library's
memory allocation functions and does not require you to recompile your
program. 

One advantage MemProf has over some other similar tools that are
available is that it has a nice GUI frontend and is relatively easy to
use.
