Description

This updated archiver binary can be configured to prevent
generation of data (using filtrator) when incoming
data is old. 

By adding a process-threshold object to the "archiver"
object in

	/var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf

The object has the following syntax:

	process-threshold()=""
	{
		max-age(Integer)="n"{}
		date-limit(Date)="YYYY-MM-DD"{}
	}

If the "max-age" object is present, only the archive files
that are less then "n" days old are run through filtator.

If the "date-limit" object is configured, only archive
files that are from the configured date or newer are run
through filtrator.

If both objects are present, only files satisfying both
thresholds are run through filtrator.

All data is however inserted into the archive, and 
for FLEXlm debug data, the "flab" program is still run
so that data later can be generated without additional
work.

The default setting for this object (e.g when not 
present in configuration file is to process all incoming
archive data through filtrator.

Installation
