New Driver: SDEC LCD for Watchguard Firebox

All,

I would like to submit my driver code for inclusion in the LCDproc project.

The driver is for the 1U Firebox firewall appliances made by Watchguard. They are sold under various model numbers within the X-Core, X-Core-e and X-Peak product lines. These boxes feature a 20x2 Text LCD from SDEC, interfaced in through the parallel port. These appliances are i386-based. There is also a 4-button keypad. As these boxes have reached End-Of-Life, they are fairly inexpensive to acquire. There is dedicated group of enthusiasts running the pfSense firewall distribution (based on FreeBSD 8.2). I run the Debian-based Vyatta distribution.

The code is available here:

https://github.com/fmertz/sdeclcd/tree/sdec

It is on the sdec branch off of the master branch. I’d be happy to submit the code in whatever form is preferred. I did my best to follow the guidelines in the documentation for code style, code documentation and overall documentation. 

At this point, the code was confirmed running on Linux (Debian/Vyatta) and pfSense/FreeBSD. It compiles fine on OpenBSD 4.3 but fails in 5.0, as reported previously on this list. Let me know if there are additional requirements.
