Well, the interesting factor becomes either we end up with 2 arrays
(supplied_to, supplied_from) or we make 1 array (horray, save space!)
but need to then either have a flag or use the power_supply type to
know how to interpret the single array (as supplied_to or supplied_from).

Adding in the second array and adds a char ** and an int, which doesn't seem
like as much overhead as trying to figure out how to interpret the 
single array
so I am inclined to stick with 2 arrays.
