nagios-plugins + perfdata + openbsd comments

[Julien TOUCHE]

i have a small question concerning the default plugins of nagios. it
seems they didn't issue the perfdata like shown in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html
there is a change with 1.4.0alpha1

is that right ?
if it is, is there any plan to make this default for all plugins ? (like
ping, procs, ...)
what is the situation/plan of other plugins ? (nrpe, nsclient, ...)

on the other side, i test 1.4.0alpha1 on openbsd 3.5. few points:
* sys/mount.h configure test need sys/param.h, same for sys/ucred.h
else
/usr/include/sys/ucred.h:46: `NGROUPS' undeclared here (not in a function)
* a note with libintl : configure
     57 checking libintl.h presence... no
      58 configure: WARNING: libintl.h: accepted by the compiler,
rejected by the preprocessor!
      59 configure: WARNING: libintl.h: proceeding with the compiler's 
result
      60 checking for libintl.h... yes
and in config.log
     546 configure:4567: checking libintl.h presence
     547 configure:4577: cc -E  conftest.c
     548 conftest.c:28: libintl.h: No such file or directory
as libintl.h is in /usr/local/include and adding
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" changes nothing
* problem with check_mysql as in
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=962495&group_id=29880&atid=397597
* one general comment, it would be useful for dependencies in package to
be able to disable plugins at configure. for now only pgsql & mysql
could, so if you have fping installed, it will be build even if not asked.
* ping & ping6 problems (was ok with 1.3.1)
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_ping.orig  -4 -H localhost -w 100,0.6%
-c 1000,0.8%
/sbin/ping
Error: Could not interpret output from ping command
example output:
