generic pre-processor plug-in framework could be really useful beyond
just compression. It could perform authentication to compare status/data
message signatures against public keys (or certs) stored in a
xymon-hostkeys.cfg file, and reject messages that don't match the
signing key for a host. A plug-in for encryption would work the same
way.

Much of this has already been put into version 5: Compression, TLS
encryption and client authentication via client SSL certificates. So it
is pretty much done.
