Unfortunately the NUT port is currently unmaintained so it probably only 
gets touched when it breaks :(

Also, if someone does upgrade it they are likely to be a bit more lax 
about feeding patches back.

FWIW I've attached the current patches to the NUT port.

The USB one will probably have to stay until the libusb stuff gets 
sorted out.. I made a stub port which supplies the necessary support 
scripts for auto* to find it out of the box. Unfortunately it hasn't 
been committed yet because it's going to need some extra work so the 
correct version is chosen. ie the "real" version for FreeBSD <8 and the 
stub for >= 8.
