[mrtg] 4 hour graph (was: question about http://teak.wiscnet.net/nrg/NoSuchSD.html)

There seems to be some interest so I made a patch (appended). I won't put
this into the main 14all as I don't know a good way to make it configurable
while preserving mrtg compatibility (*). The main part of the patch is the
extension of the %start and %expire hashes (to create the graphs) and the
addition of a link for it ("print $q->h2..."). The 4 hour display really
contains 4 hours and 10 minutes as 250 minutes (50 values) fit better into
the default graph size (400 pixel width).

(*) I cannot add options/settings to mrtg.cfg without changing mrtg. This
    (changing mrtg) is something I try to avoid when possible. 14all could
    be made much more flexible and customizable if mrtg as the data gatherer
    wouldn't restrict the config file format/options. It would be easy to
    change mrtg to be just a data gatherer which just looks for the
    Directory and Target settings and ignores anything else but I don't want
    to create and maintain a mrtg branch (further improvment of mrtg
    wouldn't go into it).
    If there is enough interest I could try to get 14all.cgi + data gatherer
    into the contrib section of rrdtool but that depends on Tobi's opinion
    on this.
    (and if somebody wants to take maintainership for 14all, go ahead! ;-)
