Removing -N is a bad idea ... there are all sorts of QA dependencies
with the "broken" PMDA there that I don't want to try and unscramble.

Similarly removing -n for Install/Remove is not that simple.

So I've converged on part of my changes and part of Nathan's idea of
hiding -n namespace to pminfo unless -n appears in the Install/Remove
command line.

I'm close to getting this all passing QA before I post my commits back
to my oss tree ... but Ubuntu 9.10 still has tool chain strangeness and
I've encountered a couple of day one bugs (one in libpcp and one in the
txmon PMDA, if you can believe that).  So I still have a bit more work
needed on this front before it is clear ... however the pmdaproc.sh
changes look to be OK now.
