SoftGlow, Power Manager, and pstate-frequency

SoftGlow is getting better day by day. After the re-write I was able to fully reimplement all previous functionality, unlike the Power Manager rewrite. A couple more weeks will go into adding and stabilizing new features and interfaces before you can expect to see SoftGlow on the store.

Power Manager will be receiving a feature update to add back all of its legacy features that are curently missing (turn on radios or an interval). They were removed because in some cases they went against the Power Manager philosophy to save more battery than it uses.

pstate-frequency received a small update today which makes it fix an error where if the file was first run by root, a small permission error would print out when run by a normal user. In some cases, when root allowed a file to be world readable, this was okay, however, if the root user had a stricter umask, this would lead to a segmentation fault. The update created this file with an explicit world readable mask, so it hopefully will stop a segfault that could have been potentially caused by specific setups.

Also name change. Like it? Don't like it?
