+SUMMARY
+I like to use kcachegrind for doing profiling on my ruby code. Most of my development
+is done on OSX, and while you can install kcachegrind via macports, it takes forever
+because it has to build KDE, as well. Much to my surprise, the fine folks who 
+wrote kcachegrind also made a QT version, qcachegrind. I was able to build this on
+OSX without too much effort, only having to install QT and GraphViz. Yippie!
+
+I'm running OSX 10.6.7, with Xcode 4. My default gcc/g++ version is 4.2. I'm sure
+it will build just fine on earlier versions of Xcode, but I haven't tested it.
+
+### Download and install QT
+# I installed 4.7.3 on for 10.5/10.6 from here:
+# http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-for-open-source-cpp-development-on-mac-os-x/
+
+### Download and install Graphviz
+# If you don't already have graphiviz (specifically the 'dot' binary), then
+# install it. This is so that you can see the pretty call graphs that 
+# qcachegrind likes to draw.
+# http://www.graphviz.org/Download_macos.php
