Notable changes are:
- it now builds using gmake
- NLS and POWERFLUTE are removed
- POLLTIME directive to control UPS polling interval. This directive
specifies the number of seconds to delay between polling the UPS for
status. Previously, NETTIME allowed this to be adjusted for network
connections only (snmp, pcnet, nis-net). POLLTIME configures the delay
for all connection types. NETTIME is accepted as a synonym for
compatibility with old config files.
- you can now use the graphical client via GAPCMON OPTION
- it won't build on anything pre 6.3R
Tested by: Stefan Lambrev <stefan.lambrev@moneybookers.com>
- more OPTIONS to let the user choose what he needs to have compiled
- don't allow drivers to be compiled if user wants only the client
- chase netsnmp shared lib version
- provide internationalization support
- provide backup location on my server for the pdf manual and don't IGNORE the
file in distinfo anymore
- patch apcaccess to be able to fetch the host:port from the config file [1]
- add patch to allow usb driver to compile [2]

- Now the port build depends on devel/makedepend
- Utilize ETCDIR for Makefile and pkg-plist
- Move pkg-message to FILESDIR
- No need to use USE_GETTEXT=yes, because port doesn't install any mo files
and --enable-nls option doesn't help. With --with-included-gettext apcupsd
doesn't build.

o) Add patch for propper power off of ups device with USB
driver on FBSD-5 ("Mike Tancsa" <mike@sentex.net>)

o) Modify configure to use internal libgd. This avoids compat problems
and the overkill install of libgd and dependent ports for a apcupsd
server machine.

o) files dir contains a sample config for network master-slave
which seems to be stable on my test environment
o) still lack of USB support, cause noone ports the LINUX usb code to
FreeBSD (perhaps libusb is also a staring point)
