I was hoping to get the configure detection thing ready and stable
before a commit.

At this moment I can't test 2.4 kernels yet, but intend to do so this week.
(which responds also to your other email)

I don't want to break things now just to have i2c support plugged in.

The changes to the drv_HD44780.c file, were integrated already, as
the two new driver helper files.

I did not commit the correction Paul provided yet, due to lack of time...
(Paul, can you please send me a unified diff?)

Well, i find it difficult to compile without kernel headers/source, as
it will talk (more or less) with a /dev, which I'm not really sure
if this is kernel or userspace access...

Unless we can come up with some way to properly detect I2C presence
in a reliable way.
