Currently, there are a lot of dead profiles in `IPython.deathrow`. In order to facilitate moving these out of the core of ipython, we need a way to load a profile from an external source. This would allow us to distribute a profile as a package and no longer need to depend on ipython updates to get a new release out.

I imagine you could use setuptools entry points to allow for a package to point to a folder that would be used for a particular profile.
