So CMags, are you done looking at the LCD code for mpguino?

re: LCD library, I left it out of mpguino for three reasons:

1. it didn't work for me at the time.

2. I had carefully selected the pin usage to allow for future mods (left several multi purpose pins open). The library had some lazy code with the data pins being consecutive.

3. It increases the level of difficulty in installing arduino and getting it working. With the embedded lcd code it is just cut and paste. With the library it takes some explaining, and some percentage of non-geeks will never get it, and it adds overhead for functions we do not use.
