[boost] Profiling template instantiations

Over the last few days, I've been working on a tool that counts the number
of class template instantiations in a translation unit.

To use it from a jamfile

import profile_templates : : directory of the tool ;
template-profile result : some_file.cpp : <include>some_directories ;

If everything works, this will create a file with the extension .tp which
will contain the number of times each class template was instantiated,
with the most common templates at the top.

I've put a zip of a rough version in the vault.

Caveats:
I've only tested with Visual C++ 9.0 and gcc 3.4.4 on cygwin so far.
Other compilers won't work, yet.  Other versions of these compilers may 
or may not work.
It may be necessary to add link=static to the bjam command line.

In Christ,
