Hi Waltraut,

For FreeIPMI, the asserted/deasserted data is in a more verbose output
(most aren't interested in it, so I leave it out by default).

example on my mobo w/o -v

As an FYI, in the next major release of FreeIPMI, there is also an
--output-event-state that (IMO) offers something better than looking at
Assertion/Deassertion.  B/c assertion/deassertion can differ on
different motherboards or not tell the whole story.
