Since most Nagios headers are included from a single place, it
shouldn't be that hard. I'm not sure I'll have time to look into it
before the conference (as I haven't written my presentations yet),
but I'll look into it. Nagios 3 will be default in that case, and
Nagios 4 will have to be enabled explicitly. My autoconf-fu is
pretty weak, but I think I could manage that.

Good idea. I'll readd them.

Thanks for the feedback :)

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.
