I've finally found time to write a small nagios plugin.  Here's an
example screen shot.  It just consumes api.php using SimpleXML's PHP5
bindings.

I'll clean it up and post it to nagiosexchange.org just as soon as I
have a moment to clean up the code.  I may need some advice on getting
SimpleXML's simplexml_load_file() in combination with PHP's URI black
magic to work with Mediawiki api.php authentication cookies.  

The underlying library may or may not support cookies
(curl/wget/openssl).
