[Nut-upsdev] RE hp r/t2200 and NUT

[Arnaud Quette]

Hi Linas,

did you have time to test newhidups?
we are in the process of releasing nut 2.2.0 and would like to update
the more possible things.
Note that hidups has finally been removed in the release, being
replaced by newhidups (now called usbhid-ups)!
