OK. I have a function to print perfdata that will go in utils.c -- it
takes a few more logic brancehs than it would seem at first, so that you
bacically can't do it inside a die() [used to be terminate(), but was
wrapping too many lines, so I shortened it].

I'll sync that in a few minutes.

By all means, be pedantic. I've assumed that undefined elements are just
blank, and that trailing unfilled semicolons may be dropped but do not
have to be. So both of the following are OK:

	time=12000us;500000;1000000;0
	time=12000us;500000;1000000;0;
