[netperf-dev] seeking advice on "fringe" suites

[Rick Jones]

i'm seeking advice from the multitudes on netperf-dev :)

I'm thinking of creating a test suite that does HTTP requests by using libcurl. 
  This would be akin to the stuff in the obsolete netperf3 kit.  I could just 
copy one of the existing test suite files, edit the main netperf4 makefiles and 
configure file to add-in the dependency on libcurl.

However that seems excessive - particularly if someone doesn't really care about 
http tests.

Sooo...

would it be better to have a subdirectory of src/ called oh, suites/ and then 
have named subdirs - eg http/  with independent configure and make files and 
then have folks build them on their own when they want them?
