README is unclear how to benchamark

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Read http://code.google.com/p/snappy/ Note: "Benchmarks against a few other 
compression libraries (zlib, LZO, LZF, FastLZ, and QuickLZ) are included in the 
source code distribution."
2. Download source according http://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/checkout
3. Read README
4. Guess how to compile and try it Note: "
checking for zlibVersion in -lz... yes
checking for lzo1x_1_15_compress in -llzo2... yes" in configure output.
5. Try benchmark according README

I would expect something like http://pastebin.com/hj0tLuXW

But I got: --lzo: No such file or directory

I also tried --zlib, --LZO, -LZO, ...

README should contain exact step by step instructions how to achieve promised 
results.

Hi,

Please do not use the bug tracker for support issues. As the README says, you 
will need the gflags package for handling command-line flags. Please install 
it, and you can give files to test with on the command line, along with the 
--lzo flags, etc.
