Apparently that option was added in OS X 10.4.  Strange that pmset
doesn't signal an error with its exit code when it gets passed an
unknown option.  Maybe I can test for a working version of pmset in
some other way.  Could you eval this:

  (with-temp-file "~/pmset.txt"
    (ignore-errors (call-process "pmset" nil t nil "-g" "ps")))

and send me the "~/pmset.txt" file it creates as an attachment?
