Check files under a given path against various criteria:
namefilter, age, size

counts the files which match the given criterias and gives alarm if the count is higher or lower than the threshold
(bounds definition conforms to nagios plugin guidelines)
check files under a given path

uses NagiosPlugin.vbs from nsclient++/scripts/lib
- NagiosPlugin.vbs which came with nsclient++ vers. 0.3.9 (earlier version needed adaptation)
- compares bounds to double values, so 10 comes after 9 (numeric sorting)
- bounds definition conforms to nagios plugin guidelines (http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT)

selage: older/newer/hour/ignore
older/newer: count only files if the are older/newer

size: if file is smaller than given size give a warning
expectmatch: if less than expectmatch files correspond to namefilter give a warning
weekdays:
if selage:hour files have to be written only on weekdays (1:sunday, 2:monday, ...)
if selage:newer or selage:older and the timeunit of age is d (days), we add as many days to age as the last weekday is back
e.g.: weekdays:23456 files are written on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
