Hi Assaf,

I had to have a go and (surprising myself) have managed to do it.  I 
will remember to do this again each time I upgrade.

Below is the output of a 'diff' following my changes to cmd.c in case 
anyone else is interested in making this modification.  2 changes are 
required to cover host and service acknowledgements.

%s>",(cmd==CMD_ACKNOWLEDGE_HOST_PROBLEM)?"":"CHECKED");

%s",(cmd==CMD_ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM)?"":"CHECKED");

Thanks again for your help Assaf.
