Orphan hosts in hostgroup list

[Bernd Arnold]

Some improvements (I think...):

The orphan hostgroups and servicegroups are created every (!) time. So the link to extinfo.cgi works, too. (I've tried the schedule downtime for all services of an orphan servicegroup, though I think it's not very useful.)
Maybe I'll find a way how to control the creation of these groups by a config value. Commands can be submitted to the orphan groups regardless of the show_orphan_... values so far.

You can modify your cgi.cfg file to show orphan groups (they aren't displayed by default). Put these two lines in your cgi configuration file:
show_orphan_hosts_hostgroup=1
show_orphan_services_servicegroup=1

The diffs should be applied to the current cvs files from the repository.

Regards
Bernd
