As a module, I believe. The module api lets nagios work similar to gcc; 
One module can load the config. The core does the work and another 
module does the logging (similar to frontend, optimizer and backend).

Notifications is another thing that perhaps ought to be moved out to a 
module. It's not strictly necessary on a slave-server sending passive 
checks to a master host, and compartmentalizing code is most definitely 
a Good Thing. Nagios will need to understand

include /etc/nagios-modules/*.cfg

or something similar though, for including short module-configurations 
the way apache, php and the current linux ld does. A compile-time option 
should work fine, but a configuration option would be better.
