NagMIN - "non-standard" directory support

[Fred Reimers]

http://nagmin.sourceforge.net - Explains briefly what NagMIN does.
 
If you download the tarball the db structure is in nagmin_init.sql.  NagMIN only uses MySQL.
 
NagMIN has it's own way of doing things or, I guess, my way of doing things.
 
As a result, it's not going to be for everyone and is not intended to be.  It adds fields and tables that aren't part of Nagios.
 
However, it's saving me a ton of time with configuration and is going to be expanded to monitor large scale networks using NMAP to learn the network.  I wanted to share it.

Does NagMIN use a DB backend to store configs or does it just use file editing for making config changes?

If it does use a DB, can you shard the structure of the DB?  I've written a fully relational database for Nagios Configs that is very robust and handles every inter-object relation that Nagios offers.

I received a response from someone who has a "non-standard" Nagios directory structure and was not so complimentary with his comment regarding NagMIN.
 
My response would be:  #1 - why wouldn't you use the standard directory structure in the first place? and, #2 what is it?, a small detail that the gentleman left out, so that I can accommodate it?  
 
It should be a rather easy task to add a couple more prompts to ask for your nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg files.  I'm trying to make this as simple as possible.
