1) Whenever possible, SPEC tries to use real applications, not
synthetically created benchmarks.
2) To date, SPEC has not yet awarded contracts to write benchmarks on
'spec'.
3) If you have live applications, then please, please, please submit your
code to SPEC!  If you can't locate anyplace else, please send it to me and
I will forward it to the right folks.
