Comment (by bfrancis9898@…):

 I am not sure that this is a feature that needs to be in the program
 because power management is generally a system function rather than an
 application function.  If some apps are telling the system to stay awake
 and others are commanding it to sleep it could get interesting.  I use a
 menu bar app called Caffeine that is free, works well, and will keep my
 system awake until I click the coffee cup icon.  I have a visual cue that
 the system is in "stay awake" mode and can run builds or do anything else
 that does not like or benefit from the system going to sleep.
