Thanks guys for the analysis so far.

These are two different things: Removing the "+fn" option gives you the 
/default/, which happens to have been changed to PNG for all versions 
recently. The "s" file type, on the other hand, is a /system specific/ 
type. (I guess its importance has diminished a lot though, so if it 
wasn't for backward compatibility I'd say let's throw it out altogether.)

It's strange that the benchmark .ini file specifies an output file type 
at all, given that it should disable file output anyway.
