CHANGES Now tracked in web/nmis-changes.html!

10 March 2001: Added graph.pl which does the NMIS graphing on the fly, cool, 
now you can embed NMIS graphs where ever you want!  Have started embedding 
this into all CGI scripts which display graphs.  All NMIS graphs will be 
drawn on the fly.

10 March 2001: Changed the loadConfiguration subroutine to handle variables 
in the configuration file.  This will make installation a little easier 
for people.  Check the new config-sample.dat on how to use this.  You 
do not need to implement this feature if you do not wish.

8 March 2001: Added Interface proactive thresholding and notifications

8 March 2001: Added some newer "dashboards" to nmiscgi.pl, summarised
ones and group ones for that drill in effect.

more cryptic and die if no config exists.
