Both work.

For now, I think we should use this, as copying an entire resource_t
structure has the downside of complicating reconfiguration, which is
already rather ... complicated :)

Ideally, we'd just have private "last-check-time" and "last-check-level"
in the resource node structure and not put it in the resource action
structures.  This would require a little more work.
