I have finally gotten around to compiling nut with the patch!  It was on 
my list of things to do :)

I saw that 'compile usb drivers = no' was set, and added --with-usb to 
get bcmxcp_usb to compile.

The only packages I had to add were 'libgd2-xmp-dev' and 'libusb-dev'.

I've just tested it and it work great!  Thanks very much :)  The only 
thing plugged into this UPS is the power supply for the RaspberryPi - 
nut reports the load as 0.0% :)  I'm going to also plug in the 5-port 
switch and ADSL modem/router, I expect to be online for some time when 
there is a local power failure :D

Cheers,
Greg
