RFA: Time Benchmarks

[Jeffrey Oldham]

This patch has been awaiting response since 05Jul.  It is OK to commit
this patch?

When running benchmarks, knowing the running time is frequently
useful.  Currently, only the number of megaflops is computed.  This
patch adds a "--report-time" command-line option which substitutes
running time in seconds for megaflops.

        * Benchmark.cmpl.cpp (Benchmark::Benchmark): Initialize
        report_time_m.  Process "--report-time".
        (Benchmark::usage): Add "--report-time" explanation.
        (Benchmark::runImplementation): Revise storage of time xor Mflops.
        * Benchmark.h (Benchmark): Add report_time_m.

Tested on       sequential Linux using gcc3.0 and by building and running three 
benchmarks
