[Nagiosplug-devel] Perf Data

[Subhendu Ghosh]

Perfdata should be generated by default I think.  There have been no 
discussion to the contrary.

The only discussion that needs to take place is the formatting of the data 
and ensuring sequence of perfdata matches sequence of argumets (eg. oid in 
check_snmp) or natural order (eg. disks in check_disk)
