Well I wish I had read some of this after I posted this message
because I went ahead and whipped up a little perl script to check the
BGP status.

It doesn't support all the standard plugin options nor does it import
the utils.pm strictly as according to the nagios plugin guide;
however, it works and it works quite well.

Usage: -H <hostname> -C <snmp community> -s <IP address of BGP session
you want to check>

See attached.
