.prof files are publicly documented in mprof's usage message, namely:

Arguments:
        If no <files> are specified, then the `--use-dynamic' option
        is implied: the call graph will be built dynamically.
        Otherwise, the <files> specified should be the `.prof' file
        for every module in the program. The `.prof' files, which are
        generated automatically by the Mercury compiler, contain the
        program's static call graph.

(BTW: this information does not appear in the users' guide.)

On that basis, I think a brief entry in the NEWS file describing where
.prof files
will now be placed is worthwhile.

The diff itself is fine.

Julien.
