Hm, so adding those two lines to the GNUmakefile as a new target named
"benchmark" and then having the buildmaster invoke "make benchmark"
would run benchmarks on lots of buildslaves?

Okay I tried adding those lines to GNUmakefile and running "make
benchmark" locally and it failed to compile darcs-benchmark:
