I guess I generally don't have a problem with the labels, except I think
there are some typos in check_swap 'user' for 'used'.

I guess I'd like to use 'pct' instead of 'perc' for percent. It seems
much clear to me - is that my own bias or do others agree?

Actually, I'd prefer pct_used, but I suspect that is a personal bias,
and if so, we should grant primacy to the poster.

What I am concerned about is the fact that units of measure are
basically not addressed by the patch. This is of course most important
for check_disk and check_swap. In fact, you can change the output format
of the new check_disk to show its message in any reasonable units --
Bytes through petabytes, IIRC. Changing this setting, however, should
not affect the perf data output, IMHO.

For my part, I lean toward using bytes for both. Even though it may
involve scaling, I think anything else is arbitrary.

As for 1.3.x application, I still feel that 1.3.x should only be getting
bug fixes. That's why I'd prefer this be HEAD only.
