We can get around that by falling back to sysconf() and, failing that,
falling back to a hardcoded value of 512, with sysconf(_SC_CHILD_MAX)
to get the max number of running jobs a normal worker can have at any
given time.

Ugh. I suppose I should've added a namespace-prefix to all Nagios types
when I had the chance.

We could just change them now though. It won't even require a recompile
since they won't change names, assuming we provide (mostly) backwards-
compatible macros or typedefs for them.

comment -> nagios_comment
host -> nagios_host + #define host nagios_host
etc...

And it appears I spoke a bit too soon in my earlier email. Compiling
even "hello-world.c" on my solaris system fails horribly.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
