Hi Dennis,

There is definitely still interest in fx2lib. I expect to use it in many
different projects for the foreseeable future. As far as I'm concerned
the codebase is pretty stable and it will only need small changes here
and there from time to time, and ports to new versions of sdcc when
everyone agrees it's time.

I would be happy to help maintain the codebase (my GitHub userid is
"makestuff"), but my projects only use the core of fx2lib (i.e fw.c,
fx2regs.h, fx2macros.h etc). So if I get a pull request from someone who
has extensively refactored all the host-side utilities or the firmware
stuff dealing with FX2 peripherals, interrupts, timers, EEPROM etc...I
won't be able to test everything myself so I'd have to rely on others to
test for me. I do have a couple of different hardware platforms to play
with (one cobbled together on a home-made PCB and the other a Digilent
Nexys2) but both use only the minimal 56-pin FX2LP.

I quite like the idea of sharing this task with Daniel if he's happy
with that.

Chris
