splitting up config files & cfg_dir

[Fredrik Wänglund]

This is because Nagios tries to load all .cfg-files in the dir, 
including the
extinfo-file... These files are not intended to be read by Nagios, but the
CGI's. Rename the extinfo-files so they dont end with .cfg and add them to
cgi.cfg instead (xedtemplate_config_file=).
