[Xymon] Reference tag in hosts.cfg

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

Could I request that this trivial change be added at some stage please.  It
introduces the ability to include a tag in hosts.cfg which has no purpose
other than provide an arbitary reference. eg

configdbid=12345

In my case '12345' would be the ID of a record in an asset database and I
can use this to construct a query that delivers useful support
information.  It could also be used the other way round and provide a way
to maintain hosts.cfg in a mysql db or some such.  Let me know what you
think.
