I'm still using it and it's working well. You reminded me though of
one feature I need to make sure still exists in the "real" acpi, and
then add to this depending on size -- the default no parameters gives
the battery percentage on your version. What this is missing is time
remaining to charge (or discharge). Perhaps too complicated to fit in
this tiny version, I don't know, I haven't looked yet... but thought
I'd mention it while I remembered!

Thanks,
Steven
