This isn't going to help, the Fedora packaging guidelines forbid this so I'll have to rip it out and use the system one for the fedora packages anyway. Of course other distributions might be more forgiving, I have no idea. Personally I can't say I care much about JSON, what I am aiming at is to make the input/output in gmond more modular and having a second encoding helps me see clearer what should be exposed to a plugin.
