I'm sure there's a better solution, probably some other "do expansion of object relationships" call that should be invoked instead, but I can't quite understand the C-fu magic that is going on with the new configuration code!

Sorry for the delay.
Well, the story goes like this:
We would *actually* want to use the recombobulate_*groups() functions,
but those rely on find_*(), add_member_to_group() and a whole bunch of
other functions which are inside #ifndef NSCGI (or #ifdef NSCORE).
Those functions bring in yet other functions and some of *those* live
in other files. There are no functions anywhere that reside in the
base/ directory which have to be linked to the cgi's no matter how far
down the rabbithole you go, but it's a bit of a mess, really, and
with the recent improbable-but-possible coredump issue in Nagios core
I was forced to take a short hiatus from cgi issues and jump on that
one instead.
Anyways; It's unlikely manageable to fix it the proper way. If you
beat me to a hack that just iterates over the string elements inside
register_*group(), I think I'll just take that patch instead and put
a big fat "FIXME this is fugly and should use instead".

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
