Done, still available here : http://zerodeux.net/ft/

- the stack allocation code has been replaced by a good old calloc().
Anyway I was fetching the whole charmap at every bench(), yek. This kind
of code works well with gcc or MSVC, but it's effectively a C extension
(non-POSIX).

- the 'bench time' constant is available from the command line

- the tests can be selected from the command line

- added the legal ft2demo blurb. I'm hereby giving this code and its
copyright to the FreeType project, if it has to be said clearly.
