Nut upsdev - Aug 2011 - [RFC] add device.country to NUT variables

Hi there,

while doing some housekeeping and improvements on usbhid-ups, I realized
that the country information is needed for some advanced features
processing, like Eco control and nominal values enums.
This would also be interesting to expose to the user.

I thus propose to add the following:

|=======================================================================| Name  
| Description                          | Example value
| device.country | Device specific country or region    | Europe

The current acceptable values would be:
- US,
- Europe,
- Australia

Any comments?

cheers,
Arnaud

since I wasn't sure of the actual usefulness of this data, I've changed
my
mind and made an internal variable (in commit r3164) to have this data
underhand.

cheers,
