Model: Unable to set custom host variables

[alex-eoi]

Hi,

when i try to set custom host variables using Model.set_macro(), I get the error: "No support for macro ...". Seems like there is no handling for host variables yet.

Adding this small patch fixes the problem for me:

diff --git a/pynag/Model/__init__.py b/pynag/Model/__init__.py
