[Nut-upsuser] NUT and MGE Ellipse ASR 1500 under FreeBSD.

[Arnaud Quette]

quickly passing by before going on a week of holidays.

@Thierry: we never got time to finish together some documentation on
the subject, and I can't recall the exact situation. Can make a small
summary?
We'll check together for the piece of doc when I'm back.

I've validated such a conf is working fine with mge-shut.
but I'd rather prefer to bug hunt the USB problem, and finally have
the *bsd newhidups support...

@Charles: I still have your libhid mail underhand. Maybe we'll have to
push this more quickly...
