I always thought the K was for KDE, but maybe it's for Ken ..?
In any case, IMO you should ship a kmchart binary with a 
pmchart->kmchart symlink. That lessens the bug-for-bug compatibility 
argument and still caters for no-pmchart-for-you-coldness. BTW, Max, 
which bug-for-bugs in pmchart are you thinking of? pmchart doesn't
have any bugs ;-)
