Another fyi, from a March 6th mail to the ACPI4linux list from andy
henroid:

>
> The changes from the last acpid release are primarily

> additional interpreter functionality, and better
> stability running control methods)
>
> Though not immediately apparent, this is a large
> step forward for the interpreter and soon battery

A further acpid update was announced on March 17 also contained mention
of battery handling:

> Changes
> * Added framework for interfacing between userspace

> * Cleaned up the build process
>
> These changes will have little user visible effect.
> I am still in the process of tracking down a parsing
