The RewriteRule's exist to support migrating from Big Brother or Hobbit
(i.e. Xymon prior to the 4.3.0 release) without breaking stuff - most
notably, people's bookmarks which point to the old-style "bb.html",
"bb2.html" and "bbnk.html" webpages which no longer exist.

A rule like this one:

RewriteRule ^/xymon/bb2.html /xymon/nongreen.html [R=permanent,L]

means that IF the user requests the bb2.html file, he will automatically
be redirected to the nongreen.html page (which will exist, when Xymon is
running).
