fix the signal handling to use a volatile variable. Compilers can
optimise the access otherwise. Bump revision, since this is a bugfix.

While there, use fsync(2) on all hosts. Without this, the fstime benchmark
will be disproportionately biased toward OS's and hardware that buffer
larger amounts of data in memory before [background] syncing.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
moving the state directory for bytebench to /var/benchmarks instead of
trying to keep state in ${PREFIX}/share/bytebench. Distribution changes
from version 3.6 include:
* Double precision Whetstone instead of the old "double" benchmark.
* Removal of some obsolete files.
* "system" suite adds shell8.
* perlbench and poll added as "exhibition" (non-index) benchmarks.
* Minor change to fstime.c to fix overflow problems on fast machines.
* A lot more operating system-oriented tests into the index.
* Many tests rewritten to be more relevant for modern processors.
* New baseline: SPARCstation 20-61 with 128 MB RAM, a SPARC Storage
Array, and Solaris 2.3
package uninstalled, with the exceptionof lmbench. Make non-batch
targets for all the benchmarks, and create a results target which
places all the results in /tmp for easier collection.
