Change ${ROOT} to ${D}

Alright, this patchfile should fix it. Place the file in
/usr/portage/net-misc/nut and apply with patch < nut-1.5.8.diff

Devs, please apply this to the tree.

Ignore me, I haven't woken up yet. That patch doesn't fix anything.
Looking into it harder.

Sed magic to fix config, moved file permissions to src_install.

s/asleep/awake/

Alright then.
Somehow, install-conf was never called in the Makefile, resulting in the config
files never getting installed. Some sed magic for that, and also to change head
-1 to head -n1, no more errors from head. drivers.list no longer exists,
removed that from dodoc call.
Moved file permission changing to src_install, using the tools provided by
portage.

Devs, please commit this one to the tree, it's been thoroughly tested this time
:)

And committer, this should fix it for you. Apply instructions are identical.

fixed in CVS, partially based on your patch.
