Sure, but I'd rather stick the examples in /usr/share/doc.

Why is this necessary? What machine is that on? If it's not something that
applies to a whole family of machines (essentially, to all machines with a
particular pmu version) it goes in pwrctl-local.

1) on_ac_power looked like a perl script to me, and 2) it won't call
anacron or something like it, just provide a way for anacron to determine
the power state (if I understand the source right; I've not seen any docs
that's why I asked). So again - is addition of that script enough to make
anacron power aware?
