 * @file mintdb/perf_taler_mintdb_interpreter.h
 * @brief Library for performance analysis of the Taler database
 * @author Nicolas Fournier
 *
 * This library contains functions and macro alowing Taler performance analysis 
 * to be written with ease. 
 * To do so, create a #PERF_TALER_MINTDB_Cmd array and fill it with the commands
 * to execute in chronological order. Some command have an exposed variable wich
 * can be reused in other commands.
 * Macros are available to make the use much easier so feel free to use them 
 * to initialize your own command array.
