RRDaemon FrontEnd for RRDTool

This is a front-end for RRDTool by Tobias Oetiker. It tries to mimic
another well-known accounting utility - MRTG by Tobias Oetiker.
Front-end itself is written using Perl by Larry Wall, so You need
this one installed too.

Create directory /usr/local/etc/rrdaemon and untar here contents
of archive, then run 'make' at .../rrdaemon/settings, inspect
configuration file, patch if necessary and run .../rrdaemon/rrdaemon
(or place .../rrdaemon/settings/rc.d/rrdaemon.sh to local startup
directory and reboot computer). Then if you wanna change configuration
just do 'make' at .../rrdaemon/settings and that's all.

Data acquiring/updating and graphing is done via pluggable libraries,
you can find them at .../rrdaemon/library. You are free to write your
own extensions. To load new extension you need to restart rrdaemon
cause it sucks libraries only once at startup time (booting up executable
code is a _some_kind_ dangerous operation).

Patches for Apache configuration can be seen at .../rrdaemon/settings/apache
Also You must make .../rrdaemon/images writeable by others

This version of RRDaemon is a preliminary draft, so documentation for
configuration files/libraries wasn't been written, use supplied examples
for reference.

   P.S. to do list:
        ~~~~~~~~~~~
   - to implement loadable .html templates which can be selected from
     configuration file
   - to implement SNMP (maybe using BER.pm SNMP_Util.pm SNMP_Session.pm
     from the MRTG distribution)
