[xymon] bb-win & client-local.cfg

There are two ways for clients to do their job.  The default and best (IMO)
way is to have the server do all of the decisions and parsing through logs.
This preferred method is centralized mode.  Check to see what yours is
doing.  I believe bbwin puts this in the registry.

With centralized mode you make changes on the server.  The client simply
sends the information, the raw data, and the server decides green/yellow
red.

With the other mode (maybe client mode?) you make the changes on the client
and the client will then send a green/yellow/red.
