Excuse my English!  You should see my French :)

I think the line in nagios.cfg:

xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

Should now be:

xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$\t$SERVICESTATE$

But this is untested.

Definitely after 0.0.12.  Depending on time, developer resources and 
other requirements, hopefully in next 2-3 releases.  But as you say, to 
avoid too many database updates, I can add the field in the current 
release, 0.0.12.
