That echo's my thoughts, we should be able to extend pmproxy to do this
too - instead of simply proxying native protocol, it could convert from
XML/JSON client requests on the front end to regular PCP protocol on the
backend (optionally, and only if the client requests come in that way so
existing proxy protocol unchanged).  Then we wouldn't need a new daemon,
etc.

Sure we could do it in pmproxy, but I don't see what it buys us other than not having to start one more daemon in the init script?
