Rik Faith has transferred maintainership of apmd to me.  I have a web page
with my new apmd 3.0beta3:

		http://www.worldvisions.ca/~apenwarr/apmd/
		
It also points to a mailing list dedicated to apmd, which you might be
interested in.  If you read Linux-laptops, you might want to mention this to
the people there.  Hopefully we can end all the apmd hacks now that it's
maintained again!

In particular, the new -s and -r options allow you to run commands on
suspend/resume.  This implementation of this may change soon to use a
centralized "apmd event dispatch" script... but no one has worked out the
details yet.

Have fun,

Avery
