If you have a smartups, it is just cut and paste in the apc*
source files.  Each "supported" model has a datastructure of
various parameters...why these are hardwired in and not runtime
determined is beyond me...but just cut and paste to make a new
one and change the name.  I was able to add a SmartUPS v/s
without any documentation which is a lot more difficult that
adding a different size of the SmartUPS.

However, I'd still rather find some different software.  The upsd
is just too wierd.
