Thanks.

Right. Unfortunately there's no fast or easy way to do that. You have to run a
command that takes longer than your idle sleep timer, for example, and check
that the machine doesn't go to sleep. I have done that and verified that each
of the options works as described, at least on my Windows 7 laptop. But as I
describe in the man page, it's just hard to completely stop a host from going to
sleep, so it's always going to be hard to completely test that nosleep is
working as intended.

OK, I'll do that.
Package uploaders: please wait for an RFU for nosleep 0.1.3-3.
Maybe in time I can develop a proper test suite, but it will always be a bit
labor-intensive.
