[irrtoolset]RtConfig template error in import/export Group

Dear Peter,

Thanks for reporting this.

Sorry, there's a bug in RtConfig command line parser (it refuses hierarchical names, 
here's a patch for it:

diff -r4.9 src/RtConfig/command.l
219c219
< <USEFUL_LINE>[A-Za-z_0-9-]+ {
---
> <USEFUL_LINE>[:A-Za-z_0-9-]+ {

However I'm not sure what you mean by 
'neighbor AS8679:PRNG-SIX peer-group
  - I don't think that this is also valid'

Do you mean that your peer group name should be kept to "PRNG-SIX" in the config?
However, the full RPSL name is AS8679:PRNG-SIX, do you mean you'd like a part of the name to be cut out in the config? Won't it create confusion when having names like:

AS1:PRNG-SIX
AS2:PRNG-SIX
...

Also, what about other peering-set names inside this peering-set?
Please also let me know if there are any problems with the patch.

P.S. Later I'll have a look why it segfaults in 4.8.1.
