240e5b34d0 Improve packaging of this package:
1.) Handle installation of the script to determine the amount of free
    memory and swap space on the local machine automatically.
2.) Fix the NetBSD implementation of the above script.
3.) Create a wrapper shell script for invoking Cacti's poller.
4.) Simplify the installation instrunctions using the above enhancements.
5.) Don't included the log file in the package list. It doesn't belong
    there and "pkg_delete" will correctly complain that it has been
    modified.

ToDo:
- The log file and the "rrdtool" database still need to be moved to
  a directory under "${VARBASE}".
- "config.php" should really be a config file to allow using a
  non-default password for the MySQL database. But the file would have
  to be readable by both the user of the webserver and that cacti user.

b74824bd91 Cacti is a complete frontend to rrdtool, it stores all of the necessary
information to create graphs and populates them with data in a MySQL
database. The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able
to maintain Graphs, Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a
database, cacti handles the data gathering also. There is also SNMP
support for those used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG.

The Plugin Architecture for Cacti was designed to be both simple in nature
and robust enough to allow freedom to do almost anything in Cacti.  The
Plugin Architecture for Cacti is integrated into this package.
