+A directory of tools provided to people using CVS Bison.  None of
+these is distributed.
+
+* bench.pl
+A primitive Perl script to run benches.  Currently its only bench is
+the usual calculator: it has a lightweight processing part (but not
+null), so it is really emphasizing the cost of the whole parsing
+(including scanning and I/O).
+
+Set the envvars BISON and CC to the programs and flags you want to
+use.  They default to bison and gcc.  To run a non-installed bison
+from a tarball built in _build, I suggest the following.
+
+     BISON=_build/tests/bison CC='gcc -O2' ./bench.pl
+
+(The _build/tests/bison wrapper makes sure that _build/src/bison will
+use the tarballs' skeletons, not those already installed as a
+straightforward use of _build/src/bison would.)
