hostextinfo being ignored

[carole verdon]

I tried the template method on an old server used to test nagios. So, i 
add in cgi.cfg this line:
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg

And i realized that works. So, the use of database to store the extended 
information isn't a good thing since it don't work.

Can i compile again nagios excluding --with-mysql-extinfo option without 
lose my data in nagios and nagmin databases?
