I really don't like seeing you creating another temporary solution. My
plans might sound big and complicated, but they can be seperated into
verious different pieces. So taking the kpowersave approach, because it
should be independent, it is completely seperated from the rest of the
plans. From kpowersave's point of view, it's just to patch out the
powersave dependencies and addin a few other things. So why not putting
your efforts into kpowersave _now_, so that it provides the basic
functionality, which will still be definitely more than your new
application may provide. I think it's really doable within the next weeks.
