Thank you Fernando. I have one more problem with this package. The 
developers keep on referring to the software on their project page as 
iPerf3 (but in places just iPerf) - to differentiate it from the 
original iPerf/iPerf2. However, the source code files and directories 
just use iPerf (or "iperf" - all lower case). Thus the source code 
archive contains a folder called iperf-x.y.z - not iperf3-x.y.z. Even 
the resulting binary is just called iperf. Originally I wanted to call 
the SBo package iPerf3 (with corresponding files - iperf3.SlackBuild 
etc.) - to clearly set it apart from the other iPerf. But given the 
above, I don't think it can be done.

Could I have some thoughts on the above please? Should I leave the 
scripts as they are - only referring to the software as iPerf3 in the 
README file - and using "iperf" everywhere else? I don't even know why 
the developers didn't just use another name - after all, according to 
them, it shares no code whatsoever with the original iPerf, and it isn't 
backwards compatible.
