Is there any way hobbit could support the bbwarnsetup.cfg file style
of host groups?

I've attached such a script - it appears to work on the
bbwarnsetup.cfg I have, but there might be some special cases with
bbwarnsetup features I dont use.
E.g. if you have a definition like this one
hg-asd: mwsicha* asp* mwscsg* slsportal* asdad* asdnam* asdmgmt*
the script outputs a macro definition:
$HG-ASD=mwsicha(.*)|asp(.*)|mwscsg(.*)|slsportal(.*)|asdad(.*)|asdnam(.*)|asdmgmt(.*)
Put this in your hobbit-alerts.cfg, and you can define rules like
this:
You mean put the above macro definition in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file?

nevermind, the answer is yes and I had to RTFM for that :P

HOST=%$HG-ASD
	MAIL user-ef86c43926b6@xymon.invalid SERVICE=http
etc.
(I admit - it's untested, but it should definitely work. The
expression at least is correct, and matches the hostnames it is
supposed to match).
