[hobbit] Hobbit client feature request: bb client compatible mode

[Gary Baluha]

I feel your pain, as we too are migrating our BB server (actually, servers)
into a single Hobbit server.  To add to the complexity, the hobbit server is
on an entirely different subnet (and thus IP) as the BB server, so ACL
changes need to be made as well.

However, considering the many additional features Hobbit has that BB
doesn't, I think in the end it actually makes it easier to manually convert
everything to the Hobbit server syntax.  It also forces you to look in to
some of the additional features in Hobbit.  However, if you aren't so
concerned about using the additional features (except for the trend
graphing), the only thing that should be required to get it working in
"compatibility" mode is just add the hosts on the server to the bb-hosts
file, and repoint the BB clients to the new Hobbit server (and hope ACL
changes aren't also required).

What specifically is slowing you down in your migration?
