Thanks for pushing this benchmarking stuff forward. It's a bit embarrassing
and I made this benchmark program as a quick hack to get some performance
numbers when tuning ARM NEON optimizations. It worked for me, but it was
not good enough for adding into pixman tree the way it was.

The biggest problem (but easy to solve) is the use of 'gettimeofday' and
'memalign' functions, which are available not on all supported systems.

I listed some of the issues/todo items here:

I will not go into further details, because reviewing mostly my own code is 
kind of weird :) I would wait for Søren's comment(s) to see what he considers
to be real blockers.

But thanks again for picking up this code. That's much appreciated.
