I don't think we actually want to get rid of profile and replace it with hotshot. We want to have both tools available.

This is mainly for backup if the original 'profile' is not available. Debian, for instance, leaves out 'profile' because of its licensing. I don't plan on removing 'profile' from CVS or anything.
