I updated the trunk.

Changes to the driver in the trunk to support the ON*XAU/XIU models are minor:

http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/changeset?old_path=branches%2FTesting%2Fdrivers%2Foneac.c&old=1251&new_path=trunk%2Fdrivers%2Foneac.c&new=1251

Any reason why we shouldn't backport that to branches/Testing now? (I
will update drivers.list at that point.)
