rwatson 15415175d5 Add basic simplified HTTP benchmark tools to the netrate suite:
- http is a lightweight, multithreaded HTTP query tool, which performs
  a timed measurement of the rate at which it can download files using
  single-fetch HTTP/1.0.  Other than specifying the IP and a URL path,
  it requires zero configuration.

- httpd is a lightweight, multithreaded HTTP server tool, which exports
  a single file of choice to the HTTP client, and responds with it no
  matter what the request.  Other than specifying the file to export,
  it requires zero configuration.

The goal of these tools is to measure the network costs associated with
HTTP serving, rather than file system, HTTP protocol parsing, error
handling, etc, and as such, parts relating to less interesting components
of HTTP testing are intentionally omitted.  Both are linked against
libpthread by default.

$FreeBSD$

This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and
testing of FreeBSD.  There is no toplevel Makefile structure since
these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system,
though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs.

Please read the README files in the subdirs for further information.
