Partial anwser in what I feel concerned... :)
Ben will probably answer the rest when he's less busy.

I have some similar suggestion:
In nagios.cfg:
host_perfdata_command=3Dprocess-host-perfdata
service_perfdata_command=3Dprocess-service-perfdata
cfg_file=3D/some/path/perfparse.cfg

In perfparse.cfg: exactly what you just wrote, but not in misccommands.cf=
g.

I think that it is better because that way, we can provide perfparse.cfg =
ourself and
only ask people to change those 3 lines.
We can even put only cfg_file=3D/some/path/perfparse.cfg, ask to comment =
the other
perfdata commands in nagios.cfg, and provide perfparse.cfg with everythin=
g.

perfparse and perfchart.png are in C for speed purposes. Yes, maybe perfg=
raph.cgi can be
written in php ? I agree with you, but who will do it ?
