[Xymon] Windows Update Script

[Bruno Manzoni]

Thanks all for your feedback,

<https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php>
I dont know who manage Xymonton, but he could add it!

 >Yes, an excellent script! For my copy, I added a check that the ext 
folder exists, create if not (it doesn't by default in my environment). 
Also it found an obsolete patch of 2978 days old (not even available at 
MS) so I created a filter to exclude reporting on patches over 365 days.

Let us know what modification did you did! (Send an email or create an 
issue on Github)! And my 2 cents comments:
- The check for the ext folder to exist should be better in the 
powershell client: maybe just a warning or just created at the install 
time (or both)
- For the obsolete patch, a filter seems not a perfect solution (but 
could be still usefull to have the code!): if you know a better way to 
do it or if you know why it is not reported as it is in Windows: let us 
know !
