how to wrap long lines in config?

[Marc Powell]

Taking this to nagios-devel would probably be a good start. I would say
however that since there hasn't been much call for this feature in the
past and that we're close to a release candidate for 2.0 it's unlikely
that it'll be implemented right away unless you have some working code
to contribute.
