New sophos version 5.0 support

[Martin Hepworth]

Adri

5.0 is only available for Windows and MacOS X and the NetApp filers.

The EM 1.2 will update to all versions from what I see but I don't see
any 5.0 for other platforms, or indeed a new version 3.x for this month
either. Prob means they are due out soon.

Don't blame them, get the major volume platforms out first, deal with
the support issues and a few weeks later release more versions for the
other platforms..
