Cool. I'll check, and start playing with domain sockets... 
I think I can make the code work non-acpid and acpid using Pauls' cunning
plan of trying one, and falling back on the other.

Cool. stringlist was wanted for the cpu-frequency reporting and lots of
others, should make some people happy.

So I can test stuff, an addon is going to be a 100% separate executable
from hal right? I guess it will just link in the same header files as hal
itself.

Also, how would I go about searching for a specific HalDevice matching
parameters from *within* hal? 

Thanks, Richard.
