I don't like the idea of depending on DBus. All this power  checking has too 
many layers, indirections and uncertainity already. Now Linux has also /sys 
filesystem and I bet I will end needing to support it alongside of /proc.

OpenBSD is interesting though, I don't have it running on a Laptop, so I can't 
check and I refrain from blind-developing. But if you know of somebody who has 
OpenBSD on a laptop (yourself?) I will collaborate egaerly to support another 
system.
