HAL ACPI Addon

Now at present the acpi addon doesn't do much at all, excluding putting
the acpi event data onto stdout. Presumably the data can be parsed:

battery BAT1 00000080 00000001
UDI=../devices/acpi_BAT1
ac_adapter ADP1 00000080 00000000
UDI=../devices/acpi_ADP1
processor CPU0 00000080 00000000
UDI=../devices/acpi_CPU0
and so forth...

so it's trivial to find the UDI from the acpi event. Do we want the addon
to parse the input (and copy the rules from acpi.c) or to signal to hald
to refresh the device? I'm not sure what the plan was on this, or what
state the code is in for refreshing objects. 

Richard.
