I'm posting this here just in case it might be of interest to anyone else.  I just manually entered into the DB a soft contribution for a given PCP.  As it turns out the contribution was part of a recurring contribution.  I entered $2000 into civicrm_contribution_soft.amount but surprised to see that in the thermometer for the PCP it was showing up as $2001.  After investigating I realized that I had patched CRM/Contribute/BAO/PCP.php to be aware of recurring contributions, but had forgot I had done so.  For our purposes we want thermometer totals on PCP to reflect not just the amounts given in a recurring contribution, but the amount pledged.  I share the following patch with everyone in case anyone would like to see the same behavior for PCPs:

I'm using ceil() for the total (hence the $2001), but should probably be using round().  That aside, it occurs to me that along with this patch, that this could be a reasonable option to give to the admin of a CiviCRM site with PCPs: whether they want the amount pledged via a recurring contribution to show up in the PCP thermometers rather than just the instalments given to date.
