Hello Masahiko,

Patch applies, compiles and works for me.

This new option is for benchmarking, so "benchmarking_option_set" should 
be set to true.

To simplify the code, I would suggest to initialize explicitely 
"logfile_prefix" to the default value which is then overriden when the 
option is set, which allows to get rid of the "prefix" variable later.

There is no reason to change the documentation by breaking a line at 
another place if the text is not changed (where ... with 1).

I would suggest to simplify a little bit the documentation:  "prefix of log file ..." ->  "default log file prefix that
canbe changed with <option>...</>"
 

Otherwise the explanations seem clear enough to me. If a native English 
speaker could check them though, it would be nice.
