I made a (IMHO) better version called pmpolicy, based on different
principles. More information is available at

        http://john.snoop.dk/programs/linux/offbutton/

The most recent version of the patch (for 2.4.2) is not yet uploaded
however - mail me if you want it. It has not been included in the
kernel, because the APM maintainer Stephen Rothwell didn't like the
idea of me implementing it, as some people at linuxcare (including
Stephen) want to do it differently themselves. However this
"political" reason aside, Alan Cox says it changes too much for a
stable release so I guess it's not going in.
