RFA: Time Benchmarks

[Jeffrey Oldham]

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
