-epn seems not work in 3.x

[Peter Ringe]

Hi Ethan, hi al,

I think there is a problem in base/utils.c, when comparing the string, 
found in the perl script with
"+epn" or ".epn" .

There Ehtan has used strcmp


                                if(!strcmp(ptr,"+epn")){
                                    use_epn=TRUE;
                                    found_epn_directive=TRUE;
                                    }
                                else if(!strcmp(ptr,"-epn")){
                                    use_epn=FALSE;
                                    found_epn_directive=TRUE;
                                    }

I think (I'm not amn c expert) instead of strcmp, strstr would be better
due to leading/trailing whitespaces linefeeds in ptr. actually

actually with 

# nagios: -epn"

ptr will be " +epn\n", the leading blank as well as the trailing 
linefeed is part of ptr



regards,

peter
