The only problem with using other laptop battery monitor tools is that
they mostly use APM which is not supported on PowerPC. I believe there is
some talk by the pmud maintainer of implimenting APM support. This would
be really good as it would allow us to hopefully use all of those GNOME
applets and Wharf modules for displaying battery usage infos.
