Hi all,

I just pushed 5 patches containing the beginnings of an implementation of a new 'benchmark' section:

Tue Oct 11 15:28:49 NDT 2011  Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com>
  * Add a Benchmark data type for representing 'benchmark' sections

Tue Oct 11 16:45:15 NDT 2011  Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com>
  * Parse 'benchmark' sections and handle configurations (flags) for benchmarks

Tue Oct 11 16:53:49 NDT 2011  Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com>
  * Parse the --{enable,disable}-benchmarks command line flag

Tue Oct 11 17:18:38 NDT 2011  Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com>
  * Implement 'configure' and preprocessing for benchmarks

Tue Oct 11 17:28:47 NDT 2011  Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com>
  * Add unit test for benchmark section

I've implemented everything up to (and including) 'configure'. I've also added a unit test.

Next up is actual build support and a few things surrounding tarball generation, installation, etc.

Cheers,
Johan
