No, it's just one component. The HAL-to-LCD part is inside the
Hostmot2 driver for the 7i73.

That display was created with:
loadrt lcd fmt_strings="LinuxCNC - Tool %2u\n%b\7E X-Pos =
%9.4f\n%b\7E Y-Pos = %9.4f\n%b\7E Z-Pos = %9.4f"

Which creates 1 x u32, 3 x bit and 3 x float HAL pins. Net accordingly
to HAL and you have live display of position, tool, and which axis was
selected for jog.

I just wanted the option to display a locale-correct decimal point. I
was going to use %9,4f to set the behaviour, but RTAPI_MP_ARRAY_STRING
tokenises using "," so they get stripped.
