[ltp] Thermal data

[Richard Neill]

This, from the lm sensors page:
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/README.thinkpad

Summary:

1)It is "probably" safe, since thinkpads are now detected

2)But this detection simply stops it running on thinkpads anyway, so no 
point

3)You could get the same information from ACPI.

Regards

Richard
