Actually these metrics could be very easily added to gmond as a metric module. As a metric module, all it is responsible for is producing the metric(s) and does not need to be tightly integrated into the rest of the gmond code like the built-in metrics. So you can basically just take the code that you add to metrics.c and create a DSO out of it. Once you have done that, just load the DSO through the gmond.conf file and configure the metric just like you would with any other metric. There are examples of how to create a metric module in SVN trunk under gmond/modules/example. There are also examples of how to load the DSO in gmond/modules/conf. Since it appears that the POWER5 metrics are specific to certain hardware, implementing them as a module allows you to load them on the hardware where it makes sense and exclude them from all other hardware without having to #ifdef the gmond code or build specialized versions of gmond.
