Alex,
You have some good ideas and I can see you are keen to get going.
You suggestion about flags in the configure sounds like the correct option.
Before you do too much work, I am keen to have some feedback from other users.
As I said, the current method you use will break translation and make
re-translation harder.
Eg, to translate: "Show all Hosts below" is easy.
To translate three isolated strings: " below", "Hosts" & "Show all " may
result in a bad translation.
To break the current translations requires a very good reason, as this is the
work of many people. :)
If you can wait a short while for the opinion of other users, this would be
adventagious.
But your work is very important as you will force the development of PerfParse
into a more generic tool, which can be applied to more than just Nagios data.
So your patch and other work in time, will be extremely useful and definitely
result in a better product.
Regards, Ben.
