[Xymon] XymonPSClient v2.27 for Windows

[Stef Coene]

Hi,

I changed the XymonPSClient so it understand messages for the user 
channel. If a file is found in the externaldata location and it begins 
with 'usermg', the file is transmitted over the user channel. Of course 
you also need a parser on the server for the data.
We use this to forward inventory information from the client to the server.

An other patch is for .ps1 external scripts.
We had some troubles getting them running. If the external script ends 
with .ps1, the powershell is executed and the script is supplied as 
parameter.
