	* TODO: Updates

	* sfile.c (add_string): Use g_markup_escape_text() to escape the
	string before adding it to the file.

	* sysprof.c (empty_file_descriptor): New function to make sure
	samples generated before profiling started are ignored.
	(set_busy): New commented out function to set a busy cursor.
