Yes, I stumbled across this on ohloh today but a google search didn't show me 
this repository. I have seen you guys merged raster changes, I had this on my 
list as well... actually raster told me about memprof on one of our taxi 
drives to the Openmoko office in taipei...

One thing that catched my was the porting to FreeBSD/Dragonfly. I think you 
could have minimized the amount of #ifdef, So far only the flags have different 
names (ptrace) or an argument has a different value. This can be nicely 
abstracted in platforms defining MEMPROF_PTRACE_PEEK_DATA and such..

but thanks a lot for pointing me to the repository, I will merge some changes! 
I still have the hope that we can push things back to the GNOME repository...
