These are typical benchmark or test programs which I like to write with as little dependencies as possible because they compile/run on all kinds of systems with often dubious setup. The other issue is that everyone will have to do this now, which just seems wrong to me. -Andi (who never got this strange meme which is floating around in the kernel community for some time that cut'n'pasting interfaces into user programs is a sane thing.
