[Developers] profiling ADMB model with gprof

[Ian Taylor]

  The which_library() function worked perfectly 
for me--thanks for the information. It returned 
"s" and "o" when it was supposed to in version 10. 
In version 9 perhaps it was not yet resurrected, 
as it always returned "o", regardless of how I 
compiled.

Pasted below is output showing that libado.a was 
65% of the size of libads.a in v9 but the ratio 
was 98% in v10beta, implying that something may 
have gone wrong with the make file for 64 bit 
linux. Allan Hicks just showed me some indication 
that on his Windows computer, things were working 
well with v10beta, providing further support for 
the idea that my slow run times were a problem 
with how ADMB was getting compiled on linux.
