I've started a new patch with more AJRv1 battery recharging cleanup.
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1159539>

Continuing to build on the last recharging patch [ 1116884 ] "More
aggressive Recorder V1 charging."

This patch does more consoladation and rearranging to meet my asthetic
expectations. I'm running out of deck chairs to rearrange, however.

Also fixed is a bug introduced in the [ 1116884] patch where I
inadvertantly bypassed the "top-off" stage in the recharge cycle, going
from full charge to trickle. Ooops, too much code reorganization.

I removed the battery percentage limitations of -1% per minute (-3% per
minute for USB). I don't know if this is an acceptable removal or not --
I don't notice that the battery percentage bounces around significantly,
but I don't watch it that closely either. My presumption is that the
better battery voltage filtering of the [ 116884 ] patch makes the
additional rate limiting unnecessary.

I did some minor improvements to the debug log file flushing: if the
disk is active and there is stuff to flush, I call fsync(). Otherwise, I
only call fsync() every 10 minutes. This is intended to minimize
extraneous disk accesses. I also fixed an error on shutdown (fd > 0) vs
(fd >= 0) which could have been the cause of some of the empty log files.
