Mhmh, in the end, we may have a situation. The sysfs patch doesn't work really
great. Some users say the indicator is stuck at 28%. Some people don't have any
/sys/class/power_supply/AC but other weird and non standard names.

The plugin shouldn't look at fixed folder name but rather detect correctly
AC/BAT folder names. 

This is becoming an issue, because ACPI_PROCFS_POWER is now deprecated and may
be removed in 2.6.26. 

The hal-based branch is not yet stable (at least officially), and, well,
depends on hal.

Bartosz: could refresh your patch so it works correctly on all boxes? I tried
to look at it, but this is a quite intrusive change so I'm really not sure.

Nick: maybe the solution is to deprecate the 0.5.0 battery plugin early, and
switch to hal (even if this add hal dependency on laptops).

What do you think?
