    perl plugin: Deprecated the use of plugin_register() to register data-sets.
    
    A custom types.db file should be used instead.

    table plugin, src/common: Un-escape '\t', '\n' and '\r' in column separators.
    
    For this purpose, the function strunescape() has been added to the "common"
    module. Currently, any escape sequence that's not '\t', '\n' or '\r' will be
    expanded to the literal escaped character.

    powerdns, utils_cmd_putval, utils_db_query: Use parse_value().
    
    Besides cleaning up the code a little, this also adds more verbose error
    messages.

    Moved parse_value() from the table plugin to the common module.
    
    Some other plugins will find that useful as well.

    tables plugin: Added a generic plugin to parse tabular data.
    
    Currently, the main purpose of this plugin is to be able to get information
    from the Linux proc filesystem but it should be flexible enough to get data
    from other sources as well.
    
    Values are selected based on a given column separator and column numbers. The
    configuration is a kind of a mix of the tail and *sql plugins' configurations.
    A sample configuration might look like this:
    
      <Plugin table>
        <Table "/proc/slabinfo">
          Instance "slabinfo"
          Separator " "
          <Result>
            Type gauge
            InstancePrefix "active_objs"
            InstancesFrom 0
            ValuesFrom 1
          </Result>
          <Result>
            Type gauge
            InstancePrefix "objperslab"
            InstancesFrom 0
            ValuesFrom 4
          </Result>
        </Table>
      </Plugin>

    Moved remove_special() from the bind plugin to the "common" module.
    
    This function might be useful for other plugins as well. Also, it has been
    renamed to replace_special() which is slightly more appropriate imho.
