  - cleaned up driver's code
  - adopted plugin and showpic to this new interface
- gu140x32f updates (thanks to Andreas Brachold)
  - brightness control through setup works now
  - timing setup works now
- fixed cGraphLCDSetup::CopyFrom (thanks to Andreas Brachhold)
- removed memory leak in GraphLCDSetup (thanks to Andreas Brachhold)

  (thanks to Andreas Brachold for reporting this one)
- fixed segfault when font is not correctly loaded (Thanks to Andreas
  Brachhold)
- code revising and cleaning (not completed):
  - extracted setup menu code from graphlcd.c to menu.c/menu.h
  - extracted status monitor code from graphlcd.c to status.c/.h
  - extracted logo code from graphlib.c/.h to logo.c/.h and
    logolist.c/.h and using list and vector containers from STL for
    storing the data
  - showpic and plugin now share the same logo source code
  - general: using new/delete instead of malloc/free (not completely yet)
  - using STL's vector and string for storing menu entries
  - general: using STL string instead of char array strings
  - sleep functions from fct.c/.h and other are now part of driver library
    (no double files)
  - string functions from fct.c/.h are now in strfct.c/.h
- added new wait method using gettimeofday for kernel 2.6 users (thanks to
  Henning 'fawkes')
- new default wait method: nanosleep_rr (same as in 0.0.7)
- updated ks0108 and sed1520 driver (thanks to Andreas Weinberger)
  - drawing errors fixed
  - code cleanups, adopted to new coding style
  - ks0108: support for displays greater than 128x64
