No, that's incorrect.  These are plugins that, not only are we using,  
but I'm releasing via nagiosexchange.org.  That being said, I am  
trying to strictly adhere to the perfparse output format defined in  
the Nagios Plugin dev documentation.

Most of the graphing packages I've found for nagios respect the proper  
output.
