Patch from http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9952 with modification
to edit configure.ac (release tarball) instead of configure.ac.in (git)

Subject: [PATCH] Add suspend/hibernate to shutdown-helper

Upower 0.99 dropped support for suspend/hibernate as an obsolete
feature in this commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=1ee642e705a63f5ad56a6b55e4bf5c4a64c959b8
Add that functionality into the shutdown-helper so these features
will work again. Additionally Upower is an optional build dependency
and the minimum required is 0.9.7 to support FreeBSD 9 and 10.
