What is the goal of this exercise?

Depending on this, we can give you some pointers.

Mono has a set of internal hooks to do profiling from a dynamic module.
These dynamic modules are invoked by calling Mono like this:


	mono --profile=MODULE program.exe

The module will have a chance to register hooks to to memory allocation
and enter/leave methods.
