1) allows you to install both plugins simultaneously, which may be
better unless icinga and nagios are mutually exclusive.  You can make
your life easier by setting up a master and a slave port.  The slave
would inherit some aspects of the master one, overriding a few settings
(e.g. groups, installation directory).
