It would indeed be better to package Nagios with the files
that come with the original tarball as the defaults, but allow
users to select the grouplist feature with minimal effort.

I am also in favor of your third suggestion. Unless someone is already
working on this, I could try to work this out and send an updated patch
for review ?

Thanks for considering this!
