would be nice if the regress build system allowed one to express a range 
against some performance target.  eg., have a postrun script that extracted the 
relevant qps figure from dnsperf output, and then ensured that it was within N% 
of some specified target.  i'm just trying to work my way through your new 
external target changes etc- is that the kind of thing that should already be 
supported though?
