I didn't read the code yet so I'm glad this approach doesn't depend on dbus. 

I will happily work on the NS event generation. I can prototype any time we're ready.

This assumes that detection of sleep/wake state changes will be added to
the C source (as you offered to implement for NS :)). The idea is that
you add code to detect the change at the OS level, and then create an
event of type sleep-event with an argument of t for sleep and nil for
wake.  The lisp package detects the sleep-event and runs the appropriate
code.

It won't work quite yet (this was just showing the concept) since the C
code has to be written, and the handler function needs to accept either
an event (a cons) or a boolean. But if everyone thinks this is a valid
approach we can take care of this.

Best,
Andy
