How about introducing a special type of *check*:

<check type='external' condition='0' path='\\server\share\discfree.bat' 
value='%SystemDrive% 1GB' />

i.e. run an external command specified by 'path' with arguments specified 
by 'value' and consider the return code. If the return code matches the 
'condition', the check is successful. (I hypothesize that discfree.bat 
takes two arguments, a drive and a size, and returns zero if the drive 
contains at least that amount of free space.)

I think you might be (-:

Seriously, we have an infrastructure all set up to do tests: let's make a 
small expansion to do external tests and then we don't have to consider 
lots of other effects.
