Doesn't he plugin processor get a macro for the name of the plugin
invoked?

Thus far, the plugins that have perf data do not include anything but
the data label and value (see check_http, for instance).

We want short names. There are limits on the length of the message.

We also want names that make comparisons possible. So time should always
be time, and in seconds. That data point should not be called 'seconds'

Patches will be accepted for individual plugins against the cvs HEAD.
