Thanks, and don't hesitate to ask questions where you have
difficulties.  I'm sure you will find here quite a few people willing
to help.

To make it clear: I think this is a very useful feature to have in
Emacs, given today's proliferation of laptops and devices that like to
go to sleep, so I hope we will be able to make it work on as many
platforms as possible.  Which is why I think we should try
implementing it using the most portable and flexible mechanisms we
have of triggering stuff in Emacs.
