"PostMark: A New File System Benchmark" -- Existing file system benchmarks
are deficient in portraying performance in the ephemeral small-file regime
used by Internet software, especially: electronic mail, netnews, and
web-based commerce.
Allow ${PREFIX} setting. (ports/12213)
Clean up makefile a smidge.

FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local

distribution includes a high-performance client and server simulators.
The simulators create a stream of HTTP requests that can be routed through
a Web proxy. Studying proxy performance under various [stress] conditions is
essential for performance tuning, evaluation of new algorithms, analysis of
hardware configurations, and comparing available proxy products.

bsd.port.mk rev. 1.304 for details on the change.
The fix here is one of the following.
(1) Define USE_BZIP2 instead of BUILD_DEPENDS on bzip2 and redefining
EXTRACT_* commands.
(2) Change ${EXTRACT_CMD} to ${TAR} when the command is obviously
calling the "tar" command (i.e., arguments like "-xzf" are spelled
out).
(3) If ${EXTRACT_CMD} is called directly with ${EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS},
add ${EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS} to the command line as well.
(4) If any of EXTRACT_CMD, EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS or EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS
is set, define the other two too.
This program is an up to date version of the ttcp program.
It uses inetd (or simulates its behaviour) to start off the remote
side program which will send/receive data. Both sides measure the time
and number of bytes transfered. The local side will print the measures.
The format of the output can be specified on the commandline.

I eliminated DISTFILES and PKGNAME by just using EXTRACT_SUFX.
On a funnier note, the MASTER_SITE didn't like us sending our e-mail
address as "president@whitehouse.gov" to get around it's "no-root" login
policy. So I had to change this to "portsuser@FreeBSD.org".
530- SIR, how'bout using a NSA machine instead?
530 Goodbye.
