nettle-dev currently ships
/usr/share/doc/nettle-dev/examples/nettle-benchmark.c.gz

but that file can't be built without a copy of nettle-internal.h,
which isn't shipped anywhere other than the source package.

Even when i try to pull a copy of nettle-internal.h out of the source
package, and to build nettle-benchmark.c simply, it fails, presumably
because it needs some of the pre-existing build system (e.g. the
source has examples/Makefile.in):

nettle-benchmark.c:295:28: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

It would be great to have nettle-benchmark available as a binary for
people to run directly.  I can imagine it would go in nettle-bin, but
it could also be placed in nettle-dev.
