This used to be a short sed/awk script but it hung on the last update
until the next iostat output cycle and I didn't like the hack to fix
that.  Anyway it used too much shell magic and nobody could read all
the \([^ ]*\)[ *] ... reps to get the iostat output.  So...

I coded a C version that uses almost no CPU time and sends all the
data in near real time.  It opens an iostat with some options I expect
to produce counts of all the disk I/O on the drives I'm interested in,
then filters that output into rrdup "update" datagrams.
