I think that we are OK here since RRD stores everything as floats.  It is just 
a matter of the XML parser doing the right thing.  Since the datatype for an 
older gmond is int32 and the data type for a newer gmond is float, the XML 
parser code should convert these numbers correctly and store them in RRD as 
float.  I don't have a large enough system to verify this so somebody else will 
have to do the actual testing.
