Disk Benchmarking Tools Updated

After many many years of neglect, I've finally updated the disk benchmark utilities for (hopefully) more
accurate data gathering. The new utilities are built via autoconf, and I
reworked the tools so that the inner loops are tighter, the clock gathering
code is more precise, and eliminated many options that never seemed to get
used. In addition, I've also automated the creation of a Makefile that will
makes adding new records much much easier than it used to be in the past.
The new graphs are in the same places as the old ones; I have transfer speed and
latency data. Enjoy!
