    Another fyi, from a March 6th mail to the ACPI4linux list from andy
    henroid:

    > A new version of acpid is now available from

    > http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Hardware/3165/
    >
    > and soon after at the main ACPI4Linux website.
    >
    > The changes from the last acpid release are primarily
    > internal and will have little user-visible effect
    > for now (significant parser/interpreter cleanup,
    > additional interpreter functionality, and better
    > stability running control methods)
    >
    > Though not immediately apparent, this is a large
    > step forward for the interpreter and soon battery
    > and thermal support will follow.

    A further acpid update was announced on March 17 also contained mention
    of battery handling:
