Pretty much everything except cgioptions.cfg will allow the use of
include/directory commands. (That one is parsed by the shell running the
CGI script wrappers instead of xymonlaunch/cmd, which is why it's
different.) Probably also the /etc/default/xymon-client or
/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client wouldn't respect them, depending on how your
init scripts are set up.
