[hobbit] Preparing a 4.2.1 release

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi Henrik

Please confer with Etienne before putting the BBWin code into Xymon.
There is currently an outstanding bug in the code, which causes Xymon to crash and core when you have certain definitions in the hobbit-clients.cfg file.

If we define
HOST=WINHOST1
        SVC "Service1" startup=automatic status=started color=red

Then all is good.
However, if you don't care how it is started, and are only interested in checking if it's running, you configure it as this
HOST=WINHOST1
        SVC "Service1" status=started color=red

It then starts to core.
I can generate a core and send you the details if you need it. (We recently recompiled Xymon to include debug info)

Search the list for posts from me under the subject "Hobbit/BBWin bug" for more info.

I think I sent a core to Etienne a while ago, but I haven't heard back.
>From what Etienne said, I believe he recently changed jobs, so we probably need to be patient.

Regards
    Vernon

I'm preparing an official 4.2.1 release (should perhaps call it 4.2.2). This is for two reasons:

1) To put the all-in-one patch into an official release,
   which is apparently necessary.
2) To do a preliminary renaming from Hobbit to Xymon.

1) is obvious, and 2) is only for documentation and web- template changes. No new stuff.

Except one new thing: The BBWin patch to allow the BBWin centralized config mode - I think this is important enough that it should go in now, since there are probably quite a few people who will want this in their setup.

Anything else ? New feature stuff will not be accepted, this is purely a maintenance version until 4.3/5.0 arrives.
