---------------
* Add support for profiling of CMake scripts through the parameters
``--profiling-output`` and ``--profiling-format``. These options can
be used by users to gain insight into the performance of their scripts.
The first supported output format is ``google-trace`` which is a format
supported by Google Chrome's ``about:tracing`` tab.
