[Nut-upsdev] Can we just import apcupsd code?

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Correction, a user wrote a shim that connects to an apcupsd instance.

It's a quick and dirty way of doing it.

The best way as I said would have been to incorporate the work done with 
reverse engineering the microlink code.

I believe someone even opened a request for this Issue #1426

The reverse engineer is documented here:
