Modified Files:
	pkgsrc/benchmarks/postmark: Makefile distinfo

Log Message:
Update postmark to 1.5.  Also, fix the benchmark target to provide a little
better benchmark without being too unreasonable on the disk requirements.

Changelog:
1.14 - Automatically stop run if work files are depleted

1.5 - It was pointed out by many (most recently Michael Flaster) that the
      pseudo-random number generator was more pseudo than random.  After
      a review of the literature and extensive benchmarking, I've replaced
      the previous PRNG with the Mersenne Twister.  While an excellent PRNG,
      it retains much of the performance of the previous implementation.
