=head1 CHOOSING A BASE CLASS
-The first thing you should decide is which base class you should
-use for your probe. For most (if not all) uses it's a choice between
-L<Smokeping::probes::base|Smokeping::probes::base> and L<Smokeping::probes::basefork|Smokeping::probes::basefork>. The former is intended for probes
-that can measure their targets all in one go, while the latter is for
-probing them one at a time, possibly in several concurrent subprocesses.

At the moment, the only probes that use C<Smokeping::probes::base> are the FPing
derivatives. All the others use C<Smokeping::probes::basefork>, and chances are
