General:
- Install apcupsd.conf with 644 permissions
- Add --disable-install-distdir ./configure option.
  This allows easier installation of slaves or
  multiple copies of apcupsd.
- Used makedepend if not gcc (Solaris fix).
- Set SO_REUSEADDR in slave machines.
- Add 940-0020C cable support (same as 20B).
- UPSNAME now sets upsname if given. Otherwise, apcupsd
  attempts to get name from UPS, if not found, uses
  hostname, finally "default".
- Implement CommLost NIS status.
- Implement Shutdown NIS status.
- Implement Slave NIS status.
- Correct SmartTrim and SmartBoost detection code.
- ./configure prints name of shutdown program.
- Add port to hosts.conf.
- Add new apccontrol arguments to script file.
- Add UPSNAME to RedHat apccontrol.
- Manual updates.
- Eliminated all N/A fields in STATUS report.
- Always construct STATFLAG in STATUS report.
