tection in the USB code if no device is specified
  or if the specified device cannot be opened.  -  Include  patch
provided by Howard Wilkinson, but put the new apcnet.c
  in  apcnet.c.new until I have a chance to examine it in detail.

  His notes:
  I  attach  a  complete  rewrite  of  the  Master  side  of  the
mast/slave code
  to  support asynchronous connections to slaves.  I needed to do
this as
  our network has a number of machines that tend  to  be  powered
off for
  long  periods  and  the connect() calls were hanging around for
more than
  nettime.
  I also, added a small patch for a new command line flag
  '-P|--pid-file' so that I can easily run  multiple  daemons  on
one
   machine.   I  needed  this  as I have a machine that acts as a
multiple
   master while getting its power from another UPS managed by an-
other
   machine.

07Nov03  - Lib wrappers was not building correctly on FreeBSD due
to the
  library -lnls, so I copied over the Bacula code for  configure.
  Thanks to Lars Kller for reporting this and for his patches.  -
Attempt to get mkinstalldirs called by an absolute path rather
  than relative.  - Apply Lars'  fixes  to  platforms/Makefile.in
and platforms/etc/Makefile.in
  Install   scripts   with  $(INSTALL_SCRIPT)  instead  of  $(IN-
STALL_PROGRAM) - Close all file descriptors except stdin/out/err.
-  If  there are no stdin/out/err (Windows), then create them and
point them
  to /dev/null.  This prevents the serial port from suddenly get-
ting
  debug  output  sent  to it -- chaos.  - It seems that since the
beginning of 3.10.x, the APCSMART_UPS never
  reported the proper status. This is because it was not  in  the
case
  statement.  Incredible  since  it is now the "standard" driver!
Thanks
  to the user that brought this to my attention.  -  Fix  a  seg-
fault in linux-usb.c due to reference one beyond the command
  table. This happens only on newer USB UPSes. Thanks to the user
who
  pointed this out.
