Ideally such a mod would only permit a correctly-formed "CREATE", and only
on a file that does not already exist.  You could store the create string
in the cache_item_t data structure, and then call rrd_create_r() as part
of the queue_thread_main().

Syntax-checking the CREATE check would probably require separating out
some of the code from rrd_update_r.

Also, you'll have to find any existing code that assumes the file already
exists.

If you need any other pointers, just ask.
