I can re-do the conversion so that we get the history of benchmarks inline
with the main repository (the way I've done for tests).  Or I can just add
it at this point, throwing away the benchmark's repos history.

The former is more work, especially if people have already started using
this.

That can probably be removed from current and future versions without fuss.

There appear to be a number of scripts that should be updated/deprecated.  I
want to be able to use test_mercury or build a tarball on any system, not
specific systems inside CSSE.  So new/revised scripts should have a lot less
hardcoding.
