I had all sorts of problems getting this compiled, and it's not running well
either: conn/ping is missing, most hosts don't show any tests and I get
multiple errors in the logs:
- Task xymond terminated by signal 6
- Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection failed)
- Cannot load hosts.cfg from xymond, code 5
- Failed to load from xymond, reverting to file-load
- Failed to get a message, terminating
etc

the point here is that only the 2013 tarball and r8050 have xymonnet2, while
r8048 does not. In 2013 it seems to be working fine, in r8050 it's not (see
above).
