RRD Tool Update (FC4 package rrdtool.i386 1.2.13-2.fc4)

The latest version of the RRD tool RRDtool 1.2.13 delivered via YUM
(rrdtool.i386 1.2.13-2.fc4) for FC4 seems to have two major issue:

- Fedora has changed from a site based RRD to a local install
- The new version enforces the "Comments must have colons escaped" rule

The first one is relatively easy to solve by adding a line in the
[CRICKET_INSTALLDIR]/cricket-conf.pl:
use lib '/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.12/lib/perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi';

The next one is a bit more annoying.  I added a small function to
grapher.cgi:

sub escapecolon
{
  my $in = shift;

  $in =~ s/\:/\\:/g;
  return $in;

}

And, then changed the line that looks like this:
        push @gprints, "COMMENT:\\s", "COMMENT:Last updated at $lasttime",

To this:
        push @gprints, "COMMENT:\\s", "COMMENT:Last updated at
".escapecolon($lasttime),


Anyone else run into these problems?
