[hobbit] bb-hostedit v1.1 beta released

[brent.mccrackin at bell.ca]

I was thinking along the parameters checkboxes line myself.... Something
that either puts together the list of available checkboxes based on
whats found in the bb-hosts file already, or a pre-defined list of
things that can be added.

Some things like cont and http/https tests will need text entry boxes
always for the URLs and test strings.  Network services like ftp, ssh,
telnet, smtp, etc will need some way to add as inverted checks (!ftp,
!ssh, !telnet, etc) through the checkboxes.

Overall pretty complicated... But would certainly make the editing of
hosts more 'user-friendly' for those not as familiar with BB internals.

Oops! Fixed.

Can do (patch attached).  I'm considering making some changed to the
host parameter menu, which will include checkboxes for different option
types, as well as a space for user definable options.  I dont know if
I'll ever get around to that though.

>Excellent work!
Thanks :)

Once you guys have beaten on it for a little bit, I'll
put it up on deadcat (although I'll make all the options
set to the bigbrother defaults when I do that).
