Isn't that simple enough to write onesself? A small script using awk
in a cron job should take care of that.

Something like:

#!/bin/bash

TEMP=`cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | awk '{print $2}'`
CUTOFF="75"
if [ "$TEMP" -ge "$CUTOFF" ]; then
  echo "$CUTOFF C. reached - goodbye cruel world" | /bin/mail foo@example.com
  sleep 5
  /sbin/shutdown -h now
fi

Or if the one-minute resolution of cron timing isn't enough then wrap
it into a script that loops every so many seconds.

Why is it that when you transport something by car it's called
shipment, but when you transport it by ship it's called cargo?
