Add profiling support to Melange. By assigning profile_main_as_logs or profile_main_as_html to main variable you can turn on profiling. profile_main_as_logs will log profile data to App Engine console logs, profile_main_as_html will show profile data as html at the bottom of the page. If you want to profile app on deployed app just set the profiling function and deploy it. Patch by: Pawel Solyga Reviewed by: to-be-reviewed
