[Xymon] Hand editing config files

Both Postfix and AMaViS support per-table specification of the storage/retrieval mechanism. I would like to be able to select which elements (none, some or all) are in a database. For example:

xymonserver.cfg:

HOSTSCFG="$XYMONHOME/etc/hosts.cfg" ANALYSISCFG="bdb:/var/lib/analysis.cfg" GRAPHSCFG="ldap:user at server:3306:graphtable"

Of course this probably makes little sense for analysis.cfg and graphs.cfg. But just to give the idea of a per-file option where it might make sense.

Perhaps this would be useful for some:

HOSTSCFG="$XYMONHOME/etc/hosts.cfg sqlite:/var/lib/hosts.sqlite"

This would get hosts (if any) from hosts.cfg, and then go looking in the database if nothing found.

For the record, I prefer text files.
