Well, the main reason is that they have a number of limitations which I 
need to resolve and after speaking with Ethan about it I got the 
impression he would not be updating NRPE/NSCA any more (for instance Ton 
Voon has some patches to handle payload size which has not been 
applied). He would (or so I gathered) rather have a new replacement 
client(s).
Also I tend to write programs in C++ and not C which sort of means it is 
simpler for me to re-write them.
