Any objections to having pairs of flags instead?  i.e. have a
compaq and a diag flag.  If you set compaq on, it will also set
diag on (unless, say, "sleep" was already on).

That way we get a few less flags...

So, we would have, presumebly:

        company: hp, compaq, dell, (award?)
        type: sleep, diag

Any others?
