Side note and follow up on the subject of i2c, lcdproc and raspberrys. 
http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=1864 demonstrates an i2c 
connected LCD will work with out of the box without any code changes to 
the hd44780 driver. As long as you have the necessary i2c chip on the 
LCD.

It would also appear that at least two other people have LCDproc running 
with my patch and are driving LCDs directly from the GPIO connector..
