[hobbit] addon: os and critical icon

[T.J. Yang]

I am in the process of writing an hb server side add-on script (learn from 
rootlogin.pl)  to do OS counting.
Ie, adapting "rootlogin" perl script do some OS counting from incoming bb 
messages stream.
hoping to get a page that can list out OS versions and subtotals of 
different OS that hobbit server currently monitored. There is no ETA for 
oscount.pl, it could be faster if my management push for it ;)

ps: I think ntop has some OS icons for hb community to reuse, if we really 
want to implement OS icons, I might need OS icons for my oscount.pl project
