[Shotwell] Profiling Specific Actions in Shotwell

[Joseph Bylund]

At the risk of getting slightly off topic...

The reason that I asked about profiling is that I'm experiencing 
terribly slow copy imports of raw files.  I don't think it's getting 
1/second.  My hardware isn't top of the line but it isn't bad either.  I 
experience this behavior even if there are no photos in the library, and 
jpg imports are blinding quick.  I'll do a little more testing before 
opening a bug and I'll try to provide you with a profile, who knows 
maybe I'll even see an easy solution.

Clint, any chance you could add a configure or make flag to add the 
necessary gprof flags?
