I geuss there was a discussion about threshold format, a couple of weeks 
ago. I think the consens was, to include the unified format in a 2.0 
release, is that right? So should we decide about the new range format 
first?

I'd really like to implement it, if everybody is fine with it, but I'll 
go on vacation on Saturday and will likely be offline for two weeks. 
Maybe I can get it to work until tomorrow. I'll post a message if the 
time is not enough. So eg Thomas can do it in the meantime.

Test cases should be, like Ton already said, no problem.

The name should be changed, in my opinion, too.
I like check_states. check_cluster is to special to me since the checked 
services/hosts only _might_ be part of a "Cluster".

One more thing: Check_cluster is also mentioned in the nagios docs..
this should be considered when renaming.
