Karl, how about a plugin that might be called in the following manner?

check_multiple!check_tcp!<normaloptions>

Where check_multiple parses the address list and calls check_tcp once
for each address?

The problem then becomes, do you want the output to say "Reponse of .51
seconds; Response of .52 seconds; Response of .48 seconds" or "OK for 3
addresses"? What's a warning or crit state? Etc...Given those questions,
it might be better off to define it on a per-plugin basis, not sure.
