I had a quick look at the tree (using the http interface). I sure would not
mind adding the tests, and the futextest.h file would make them look
quite cleaner than my previous version. Just to be sure, would you put them
under performance/ or stress/ ? This would be the first test to be added
in these directories in any case, right ? (just asking in case I missed
something obvious).

And if Hitoshi wants to do it first, I sure won't mind the help either :)
