R devel - May 2006 - memory profiling

I'm interested in playing around with memory profiling in R-devel (as
described
at http://developer.r-project.org/memory-profiling.html) and was trying to 
figure out how to compile R-devel so that I can use the 'tracemem()'
function.
But I can't figure out how/where to set R_MEMORY_PROFILING.  Is it on the 
configure command line?

Thanks for any help,
-roger

I added -DR_MEMORY_PROFILING to CFLAGS in config.site.  An alternative is 
to add this to DEFS in Makeconf after configuring.

Probably in due course there will be a way to do it via configure and 
config.h, but I do not see one.
