the "preferred" way would be if you could open up a ticket in the bug
tracker on the sourceforge site. you could include in the report such
a patch.

i think what would be best is a cmdline option to enable the nagios v2
specific format, or perhaps as you suggest an automatic detection. you
could probably do the latter by examining the first/last line in the status
log and comparing it against what you would expect to see in either
version. in any case, unified (-u) diffs are preferred, and any
help you could provide would be appreciated.
