I've avoided using 'builtin' names just to avoid confusion. However, if you use 
one of the 'builtin' names like 'memory' -and- the message that you send to the 
status channel is in the same format as what the builtin would send, hobbit will 
create the expected rrd's and use the same graph definitions.

I've only done this when the builtin column wasn't enabled at the same time (not 
sure what would happen in that case). This also works if there's an existing 
NCV-style data definition in hobbit{graph,server}.cfg.

Cool. I'll have a look and see if they're compatible and do a comparison.
