  Yeah, I also had started with .dev branch, but found it just doesn't
build at all for me. .oz354fam083 works well, but now that Familiar
people settled on their fork, I'm patching their git tree. Sad thing
the fork is, it may at least mean that it will be easier to get
patches there...

  Yes, that's exactly what I mean - it appears that to get buttons
support in Opie, you need to patch its sourse, etc, etc. If you have
something in that direction, I'd appeciate it, as I need to do the
same to get h4000 support.

  Yes, if it's not too much hassle to separate these changes, please
drop me a tarball.
