What do these patches do ?
==========================
1. HKEY - Hybrid Right/Left Key option in LCDd.conf
If selected, the same config works on 4 or 6 key pads, any key wakes up
the menus, the keys behave a bit more intuitively and if you have a menu
w/ only ring or slider you can't get stuck in them on a 4 key system.
Ultimately, I wonder if the key processing could be simplified a bit, it
currently has 3 levels, that might be able to be flattened, I've been
pondering it and don't have a simple sol'n yet, but feel like there's
one there, so I'll keep thinking on it for now.
2. OPT - adds options to the LCDd.conf for;
storing the default display string on the CFontz633.c, we use this to
put up a "starting" message for reboot for example.
setting the main menu name - which show's up on the LCD menu list, we
give it a more meaningful name like "admin" for the menus, instead of
"lcdproc"
setting the goodbye msg - which we set to "shutting down", instead of
"Thanks for using lcdproc+linux"
3. SEG - adds the ability to get a stack trace for the LCDd daemon. I
didn't actually catch a useful trace w/ it, but might be a nice
diagnostic ability or not worth the trouble, maybe gdb's just easier
when you need?
