asmctl.shar

I wrote a small utility "asmctl"
which controls LCD backlight and keyboard backlight
for Apple Macbook series.
This is a new port of it.

Asmctl works similar to Macbook series
by assigning following keybind on your desktop.

| key |      assign       |
|-----|-------------------|
| F1  | asmctl video down |
| F2  | asmctl video up   |
| F5  | asmctl key down   |
| F6  | asmctl key up     |

Asmctl requires root privilege to change ACPI sysctl variables.
So it runs under capability mode.

I leaned FreeBSD capability in AsiaBSDCon & BSDtw.
Thank you so much, Mariusz Zaborski!
Your case study was very useful.
And thanks for reviewing my code.

Please apply attached `asmctl.shar` file to Ports tree.
Thank you.
