[Xymon] xymon replacement in python

[Ralph M]

The EDS/Oklahoma entry in that list is probably no longer true.  I was
responsible for it up until being laid off in 2009 and prior to that  they
were working desperately to change it over to CA Unicenter.  The HP
integration people handed me a couple of Unicenter scripts that they
thought would replace a couple of Xymon test.  I gave them chapter and
verse of why it would not work.  Oddly, I never heard back,..

There's a new entry for Virginia - The Navy Exchange, probably about 2500
hosts, no idea how many tests.
