    I put up another revison of my fan / temperature / system 
performance project on the CrystalFontz board:

    I'd like to thank Jannis Achstetter on the list here for an example 
of how to read the hddtemp daemon.  ( Aside; I own only one hard drive 
that hddtemp can read, so I my implementation might be broken for 
reading multiple drives. )

    Frow the start my interest in in the Crystalfontz's Dallas / MaximIC 
has been off the main focus of LCD ( "oh, the temperature driven fan 
manager has a display screen too? Neat." )  The packet send-receive 
round robin que system in multiple threads in shared memory for 
gauranteeing fan management is quite divergent.  And the parts that most 
directly violate the lcdproc plan by spawning a socket screen client 
with access to the Driver * and writing directly to struct widget->text 
are all bracketed by #ifdef <>#endif, for what  it's worth ;)

    That much said ... anyone from here who finds something broken in it 
please let me know.
