I just committed this version to the SVN trunk. I only bumped up the
version to .06, since we were at .05 already.

I have the following remark:

> void upsdrv_shutdown(void)
> {
>     int ret;
>     char    buf[256];

>  *    ups_sync();
>  */

This is a common mistake for new developers, the above is not true. When
the -k flag is passed to the driver (to make it shutdown the UPS), it goes
straight from the upsdrv_initups to upsdrv_shutdown (see also 'main.c' in
the drivers directory). The driver has already been stopped when this
command is given. So you really should try to do a minimalistic detection
of the UPS, in order to find out the line status for instance. You may
also want to change the actual shutdown command to depend on which UPS was
detected (Z02 may not work for all supported UPS'es).
