If I remember, it's not very true, for software, it give all softwares
section and not only software installed.. perhaps we must enhance it to
only get software modified.

Perhaps can we use it with Fusioninventory-for-glpi 2.3.0 (for GLPI
0.78), so must see with Walid if we can use lib in plugin before
integrated it in GLPI for 0.80. So we work more hard to do this but we
like it :D
