i've added my input on the empty perfdata behaviorial change on the 
nagios-devel lists and i do think that this is a bug because it actually 
breaks compatibility. even if not intended, if the behaviour stayed thre 
for a long time, i don't see the reason to "fix" that this way. but 
solely, that's just my opinion even if i break the abi myself from time 
to time. just a hint to reduce support questions.

i've looked over them and i am still waiting for further input on what 
exactly leaks. i'm with you, free'ing the macros themselves rather than 
cleaning up the whole "mess".
