Comment (by duncan):

 So we want something like `--enable/disable-profiling-this-package`,
 though with a less silly name. It would modify the meaning of
 `--enable-library-profiling` and `--enable-executable-profiling` to add
 `-auto-all`. For libs the default would be disabled and for exes the
 default would be enabled.

 Hmm, if our defaults our different then we'd need different enable/disable
 flags for libs vs exes.

 I agree with bos and Ian that we can basically ignore `-auto` and `-caf-
 all`. On the other hand I think that if we use `-auto-all` by default for
 executables then we do need a way to let people not do that for the rare
 cases (though we don't need to support those cases specifically). The easy
 way to do that is just to have a corresponding disable flag.
