Web Server Load Testing scripts

My friend wants to load test his new Linux web server that will be running a
very large PHP and MySQL driven site.  Does anyone know of any web server
load testing programs that he could use to hammer his site, spidering links
and surfing with multiple threads simultaneously, to see if the setup can
take the punishment?

Alternatively, can anyone whip up a simple shell, perl or python script that
will spawn many processes of wget or curl that will create load on the
server?
