The problem is if you are running both bbwin and the powershell client you need a way to be able to setup separate commands in the client-local.cfg for each type of client.
If BBWin will just ignore (or at least be unaffected by) the ones it doesn't understand then that shouldn't be a problem, it's only if there are mutual incompatibilities that should be an issue.

Zak,
Unfortunately, you can't fake the BBWin identifier for just one
section – you have to change the client to report in as BBwin. It
was changed so that we could experimentally use separate
configuration options for BBWin clients and Powershell clients.
To change how the client reports itself, change line 2746 in the
current commit:
2745 WriteLog "Performing main and optional tests and building
output..."
2746 $clout = "client " + $clientname + ".powershell powershell
XymonPS" | Out-String
2747 $clsecs = XymonClientSections | Out-String
In the original Powershell client, this line was:
$clout = "client " + $clientname + ".bbwin win32" | Out-String
So you can see we've changed '.bbwin' to '.powershell' and 'win32'
to 'powershell'.
I appreciate this isn't very good and should probably be a
configuration item.
Changing the client from bbwin to something else is less harmful. Changing class from win32 to powershell will probably break LOTS of stuff. I suspect many users migrating from BBWin use "class=win32" in analysis.cfg (hobbit-clients.cfg) file extensively. The class is probably also used in the section parsing -> status reports/RRD data extraction. It will also break the config segment returned from client-local.cfg - e.g.
[win32]
dir:C:\Windows\Temp
log:c:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log:20480
