[Lcdproc] "Best" serializer command set to emulate?

Hi, all,

I have nearly completed soldering a simple Atmel AT90S2313-based LCD
"backpack" and was curious what folks thought might be the "best"
command set to implement.  I'm planning on hanging this on the back of
a 20x4 LCD w/LED backlight, so since I've only found AVR-to-2-line LCD
projects out there, I'm probably going to have to hack up some AVR
code anyway, and I thought I'd see what (still) has a wide base of
support.

I could easily hack in the PIC-an-LCD command set, or the Matrix
Orbital command set, but it's not clear to me what is the best to
choose for moving forward.  It _is_ clear, though, that there's no
reason to invent a totally new serial command set.

Once I have it working, I'll post the schematic and AVR code for all.
 I just happen to have a few 90S2313s sitting in my bin, as well as a
few extended-temp range 20x4 LCDs and wanted to through the two
together.

Thanks for any input,
