Compiling queryperf on Mac OS X Leopard

[Merul Patel]

Great tip Marc, will try them next week (there is something cold and  
tall and frothy calling my name).

I did have a quick go just now, but Make failed with missing files. I  
suspect it's just to do with missing header and source files on stock  
Leopard box, so have already port installed BIND 9 and will move aside  
the preinstalled versions.
