profiling problem

[Sigbjorn Finne]

I forgot to take into account that you're working on a Win98
box. The case is that profiling has never been supported on
that OS (any Win9x box, really), for lazy implementor reasons
mostly.

I've added a Win9x solution that will work (but the timer resolution
is not as good as on an NT-based OS) -- next release should have
this included. For ghc-5.02.1 users, download

    http://www.galois.com/~sof/Stats.p_o

and include it when linking a profiling-based application (or, if you're
comfortable using 'ar' to replace entries in an archive, update libHSrts_p.a
to include the above Stats.p_o instead).
