Hi everyone!

I would like to mark the 'glcdlib' driver deprecated and schedule it for
removal.

Why?

The glcdlib driver adds support for the GLCDprocDriver which in turn
allows access to the glcdlib-base library. This has failed to built for
years now.

The only devices that are added by using glcdlib-base are some Noritake
GUxxx devices. Most other devices are supported either by LCDproc
natively or by using the 'glcd/serdisplib' driver.

Comments?

Regards,
Markus
