I'm building a bit more of interface which handles button presses and such
(forgot your root password?). The framework is built using Perl, but the actual
calls to set LCD text and query button status are handled via some hacked up
code I found on Sun's Cobalt dev FTP. I've created an ebuild for it; whether or
not the ebuild was done well is not important at this point, just need something
that works.
If anything wants lower level access, well, have fun :-) The point here is to
make something that is easily extensible. I don't want to write something that
requires someone to know C, or heaven forbid Python, to extend. You know what I
mean?
