Service dependencies

[Eli Stair]

To be fair, one situation where these wildcard template dependencies 
don't work is when you want to define a number of dependent services 
that rely on a service on the same host (i.e. not a number of separate 
services on different hosts that rely on a single (or wildcardable) 
host/service).

I re-wrote my entire config tree with templates at one point, only to 
find it was wasted effort (in my situation) as I have large numbers of 
hosts/services all relying on others within the same host, not a single 
point elsewhere... so they aren't expressible that way.  So I've still 
got megabytes of config files to generate when there's a change, vs. the 
idea of changing a simple template and having it propagate :(
