Test and compare NDT clients

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We should build the infrastructure to test and compare all currently existing 
NDT clients:
 * C
 * Java
 * Flash

The results of this task should give us enough information to decide if the 
Flash client can replace the old one written in Java. We should particularly 
pay attention for the following issues:

1) Evaluate accuracy of Flash client (wrt c/java clients).
2) Evaluate max throughput that the Flash client can measure.

I've written some script to multiple test and save download/upload clients 
speed. I share it as patch.
For test flash client I use flashplayer standalone. I got the same results as 
in flashplayer plugin in firefox. Unfortunately during tests there are not any 
information about progress (like in java or C), so just wait for finish and 
save output file. Using -d parameter for FlashTest it use flashplayerdebbuger 
(it's important, because I get other values than in flashplayer). I also add 
easy script for install both standalone player.
It also work in web browser, but it useful only with hostname parameter (e.g. 
FlashClt.swf?hostname=localhost).

In flash and java clients it's easy to upgrade patch for get other values than 
speed. C client I don't modify and it just "cut" the output to get speed values.

Hope it help you.
