Hmm, how about a really flexible solution:

Instead of reading a firmware file directly, read a firmware _information_
file, a simple text file which only contains four pieces of information,
e.g.:

firmware_file=ttlcdacc.dll
firmware_offset=0x38EF9
firmware_length=30554
firmware_version=0x2C

Then you wouldn't have to change the sources and recompile to add support
for a new DLL version...
