If you need to reduce the number of pins the LCD consumes, you can interface to a serial LCD like the one from sparkfun. This will offload all the LCD timing routines off the Arduino but will require the Software UART module and only needs 1 pin. You can also use a 2wire interface by using a shift

Thanks for the positive feedback--I'm happy to contribute some value back into the community for a change! In terms of platform, I'm going to stick with the Arduino until and unless I hit a wall that really compromises things. Right now, I'm working up a board that will have a 25-key matrix keypad
