Summary: 1.4beta1 check_swap doesn't work on AIX

Initial Comment:
The 1.4beta1 check_swap module doesn't work on AIX 5.2:

$ lsps -s
Total Paging Space   Percent Used
      4096MB              42%

$  ./check_swap -w 20% -c 10% -v -v -v
Command: /usr/sbin/lsps -s
Format: %d%*s %d
total=4096, used=0, free=0
SWAP OK: 100% free (17592186044416 MB out of
17592186044416 MB) |swap=0MB;2147483647;2147483647;0;0

The revised check_swap code using the floats does not work
on AIX 5.2.  Here's the output:

$ lsps -s
Total Paging Space   Percent Used
      4096MB              54%

$ ./check_swap -v -v -w 20% -c 10%
Command: /usr/sbin/lsps -s
SWAP OK: 100% free (0 MB out of 0 MB) |swap=0MB;0;0;0;0

If I get time, I will experiment to see where the problem lies.

Using float values only. Tested on Sol2.6. Can you please try 
this and let us know how it goes on your systems please.

It looks like there is a slight bug in the perf data output, but 
it seems to be only a rounding error.

My preferred solution would be to remove the use of unsigned long long 
and just use float variables, but I'm a bit reticent about this. Sent email 
to nagiosplug-devel to gather some opinions first.

I am not a developer, so please take this with a grain of
salt, but the issue appears to be that AIX doesn't like the
fact that a bunch of variables are declared as unsigned long
longs.  If I change this:

unsigned long long total_swap = 0, used_swap = 0, free_swap = 0;
unsigned long long dsktotal = 0, dskused = 0, dskfree = 0,
tmp = 0;

to this:

unsigned long total_swap = 0, used_swap = 0, free_swap = 0;
unsigned long dsktotal = 0, dskused = 0, dskfree = 0, tmp = 0;

it seems to work OK (although you also have to clean up some
of the printfs to use %lu instead of %llu).

As I say, I am not a programmer, so I do not know if there
is an elegant way to fix this.
