[hobbit] cgi bb-hostedit script released

[brent.mccrackin at bell.ca]

Just taking a look at this myself.

Using it with bb19c and bbgen 3.5 (not hobbit) so here's some insane
testing :-)

It seems to work, aside from the fact that I have a subpage which
happenes to have the same name as a page elsewhere in the config file,
but the directories created do not conflict anyway, since subpage
directories are created under the page directory they belong to.  This
produces an error message in the script - "Subpage previously defined".

Subpages should be able to have the same names if they exist under
different pages, and should also be able to have the same names as pages
regardless of where they are.

Hi Thomas, thanks for helping test out the script :)

>1. If the a line starts with #, it is a comment. The script reports me

Ahh, I was handling comments incorrectly (if they had whitespace before
them on a line they were being parsed, instead of ignored).  Now fixed.

>2. I included one host on more than one page, so the script reports me

If you comment out the line that reads in hosts, its to be expected that
you wont see any on the pages/subpages :)  I assumed (yet another
possibly incorrect assumption on my part) that you couldn't have the
same hostname defined in two places in your bigbrother/hobbit hierarchy;
I'll have to play around with this some to see how bigbrother behaves.
Hopefully, I'll have a patch out in an hour or so.

Regards,
-Eric
