Understood.

Yep, I've currently got both installed via ports and all seems 
fine. Specifically I've got `libusb` and `libusb-legacy` 
installed. I tried with `libusb-compat` instead (seems to be 
more recent in 0.1 branch) but I got another round of strange 
errors when running the driver. Using libusb-legacy seems to 
work fine.

I'm working on that now. I'll send the one I'm using when I've 
got it ready.

Would you expect a different launchd plist for each of 
upsdrvctl, upsd and upsmon? That's the way I'm approaching it. 
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charlie
