Hi Taco,
sorry, I missed that.

I just copied the *.{h,c} files from luaprofiler-2.0.2/src to
branches/0.70.x/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/luaprofiler and compiled
luatex again.

However, I had to apply the patch below because the script
summary.lua, which is shipped with luaprofiler, doesn't support
concatenated output files.  It obviously expects the header only at
the beginning of the file:  

$ texlua summary.lua -v profile
summary.lua:54: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'local_time' (a string value)

IMO it doesn't make sense to concatenate output files because this
doesn't circumvent the limitation that times are multiples of 10ms.
And in most cases one changes the code of the evaluated script between
consecutive runs in order to compare the differences.

However, now it works as expected here and creates a file with the
name specified in profiler.start(), which can be processed with
summary.lua.

Regards,
  Reinhard
