I will try to get netperf4 compiled in the next days. But aside of bug 
reports and small fixes, I am afraid I will not be of any help :-(

Thanks a lot for this detailed tutorial :-) First I still had some 
problems because of excessive delays between different test runs. The 
fix was simple: Just work with one, excessively long measurement (via 
the -l switch). After that everything worked fine, and just in time, 
because I have to present my results this afternoon ...

Just a minor proposal: It might be advantageous to add the text given by 
the -B switch (which is by the way not documented in the global switches 
section of the manual) also to the intermediate results.

Once again for your help! Saved my day ...
