Simon J. Gerraty ccfb965433 Add META_MODE support. 
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

$FreeBSD$

A small tool to do the statistics legwork on benchmarks etc.

Prepare your data into two files, one number per line
run 
	./ministat data_before data_after

and see what it says.

You need at least three data points in each data set, but the more
you have the better your result generally gets.

Here are two typical outputs:

x _1
+ _2
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|x            +    x+      x            x   x             +           ++   |

No difference proven at 95.0% confidence

Here nothing can be concluded from the numbers.  It _may_ be possible to
prove something if many more measurements are made, but with only five
measurements, nothing is proven.

        2.95421% +/- 1.22812%
        (Student's t, pooled s = 0.00114018)

Here we have a clearcut difference, not very big, but clear and unambiguous.
