[Xymon] status+ in custom tests

[J.C. Cleaver]

Using this, it might actually be easier to just look at the message
directly than calculate the diff. Inelegant, but something along the lines
of this:

[rpmbuild at rhel6-x86-64 /]$
xymon localhost "xymondboard msg=status\+ fields=hostname,testname,msg" |
grep -v -- status+30 | cut -b 1-132
