Orphan hosts in hostgroup list

[Bernd Arnold]

Hi,

as the number of hosts grow, I sometimes would like to see which hosts are not added to any hostgroup.

I've written a patch for status.c where an additional hostgroup called "Orphan Hosts" is created and filled automatically. The configuration files remain untouched.

I kept things very simple, so this is what doesn't work:
- link to extinfo.cgi (permission warning, since the hostgroup is only added in status.c)
- a check if there is already a hostgroup named "orphans"
- show the additional hostgroup only when I need it (the hostgroup is always displayed)

The patch was created with "diff -U 3 cgi/status.c.orig cgi/status.c". The function create_orphan_hosts_hostgroup() is called where I thought it is best to be called (after fetching the authentication information).

Maybe someone likes this feature... Comments are welcome.

Regards
Bernd
