I actually forgot that small userspace program ;)

It is a total ripoff of the kernel driver and was implemented because
it's easier to play with i2c from userspace during development.

benh:  Any reason why you implemented your own byte+word read/write
routines?  Apparently the i2c_smbus routines work quite fine, even from
userspace...
I don't remember the exact reason, I had some issues, either with the
sensors or the FCU, or maybe it was for mimmicing OF code...
