[hobbit] Xymon version 4.2.2 RC1 available

[Gary Baluha]

Haven't tried the 4.2.2.RC1 yet, but one bug I've noticed in 4.2 involves
the alert rules.  If I have an alert rule like this:

HOST=machine,machine-1
    <something>

The info page for "machine" where it shows the "Alerting" rules will list
multiple duplicate entries for "conn", "cpu", etc.  However, "machine-1"
will show correctly.

I haven't fully determined if this corresponds to actually getting duplicate
alerts, but it would be nice to have it display properly on the Info page.
My guess is that the same reason I have to put a \ in front of - in the
bbcombotest.cfg file is why this isn't working as expected.

Alternatively, if that is by design, [and escaping fixes it], I think the
man pages should be updated to make a note about special characters just as
- that need to be escaped.  (I know it's by design for the bbcombotest.cfg
file as mentioned in the man pages now, but I haven't seen such a note about
the hobbit-alerts.cfg file).
