[gprof2dot] pull request: module name improvement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

in our large project, gprof2dot would label many modules as "__init__", which 
isn't very helpful.

This branch tries to present a non-ambiguous modulename.
I'm not sure what you need to do a pull on google code, so I'll provide Too 
Much Information:

 * my fork -- https://code.google.com/r/buck-gprof2dot/
 * the revision -- https://code.google.com/r/buck-gprof2dot/source/detail?r=99c78fc2c1be07f2c9e7fb963c1aeedac0943dfb
 * the diff -- https://code.google.com/r/buck-gprof2dot/source/diff?spec=svn99c78fc2c1be07f2c9e7fb963c1aeedac0943dfb&r=99c78fc2c1be07f2c9e7fb963c1aeedac0943dfb&format=side&path=/gprof2dot.py

This is similar to what was proposed in issue #75.

The problem with both proposals is that this won't work reliably when the 
profiled app runs on a different python version than gprof2dot.

Still, I realize it's better than what we have now, so I'll try to get it in.

In the worst case it will give the filenames for modules that can't be found 
locally.

bump :)

I just ran with this patch applied in a setting which couldn't import the 
modules, and it resulted in the full filename being used in the label, as 
designed. It gave me very good insight into what what going on.
