1. It is configurable and detected at configure time, and there's no "now" from
/usr/sbin, because it has always been using it at least from /usr/sbin. I see
no need to change its location at runtime, especially as hddtemp values are one
feature of the plugin only, not aanything that should get its own boxes
somewhere.
2. I tried to print the fat warning actually, the return codes are somehow
changing over the releases, I think. Currently, I probably catch the wrong
results and do only print the stdout. Gonna change that and print the fat
warning in any case things went wrong.
3. I know of the netcat/nc solution for querying the daemon, but as its name
depends on the OS, I didn't want to start using that yet. Seems like you would
like it in 011.0 as well. Can probably search for nc/netcat at configure time.
4. On Debian, 0.3-beta15 and all the eralier releases have -F for foreground.
It is not now completely broken, it always queried like that. Be careful with
what you cry around. I am not gonna introduce #ifdef Gentoo: Do less and other.
#endif
5. The plugin tries to get values for every disk in /sys/block (in linux 2.6,
else from /proc/ide), so it also finds hda on your system, which is the fault
of your system to show devices that are not installed. I don't have that
Unfeature on Debian, only valid devices are showing up there. 
6. Whenever you raise or comment on bug reports, be careful with your tone,
your accusation, your content. Prove carefully what you are writing. Ask
instead of claiming things be wrong. The bug report's original text is perfect,
the comments aren't.
