Unless the system in question is running servers that other boxes rely
on (in which case why in the world are you on battery power?) it's not
that hard of a problem. When I was still and undergrad at Columbia in
the mid-90's, one of the guys in the now-defunct mobile computing lab
there (where they did some cool stuff with mobile ip for wireless
devices) had a hacked mach (and later linux) kernel which used liberal
processor sleep and other techniques to extend battery life 40-50% on
stock toshiba laptops.
