Actually, I was thinking about this, as it would be useful to be able to 
access some configuration information in (e.g.) perl. Ideally, if there were a 
shared library for Hobbit/Xymon that included the functions for reading 
configuration, events, data, it could be exposed to scripting languages as 
well.
