just an idea to put in there: Is it feasible to have different config 
"languages" like the salt config management tool has ? Those can use at 
least yaml, direct python code, jinja2 and xml. 
One is the (settable) default for the config files, but this can be changed
with a shebang syntax in every individual file.

Of course shinken would have additionally the nagios compatible "language", 
in the beginning as the default "language".

An important point would be that the direct python code would allow to 
introduce self defined functions, objects and more, so not every new 
dynamic feature has to be introduced in the nagios "language", as you 
can use python code.

This would also be a path to merge the daemons config into the main 
config in the long run.

Shurely no short time idea...
Thanks very much for all the work,

 greetings
  Hermann
