I like to keep it simple, since I am using my mini-netroot (distro-less), 
and since I don't need acpid and stuff, I just used a bash-based 
mini-daemon (I've inserted it as a demonstration). It runs out of the box 
using only tools busybox provides.

#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ] ; do
  read EVENT </proc/acpi/event
  if [ "`echo $EVENT | sed 's/[0-9 ]*$//'`" = "button power" ] ; then
    /sbin/poweroff
  fi
done

Greetings,
Sascha
