for thinkpads, there is no need to reverse any win32 stuff.. there is a linux
driver that accesses the EC and is able to get/set battery parameters (among 
other stuff, like HDAPS) called tp_smapi
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpctl/)

i did only take a glimpse on the code, but it seems well commented and 
understandable.. plus there are some links to documentations too..
