I remember this discussion, but I didn't realize that you were referring
to this idea for doing the port.  I also didn't realize when you
mentioned this idea originally that you wanted lp5250d to call the
functions to be callable by lp5250d.  But now that I think about it makes
good sense.

I can't promise anything soon, but I'll get to work on this right away.
Hopefully things are working pretty well the way they are now (at least on
unix anyway).
