Yeah, I got tired of the existing indentation style in there while I was 
applying your patch, so I fixed it to be the One True Indentation Style.  Bug 
in themedmenu was you were assuming all rows had the same number of columes.  
Just a minor little thing, really.  Oh, and I should mention that I didn't 
end up using the additional lcd*.cpp files -- I just incorporated them into 
the lcddevice header, as the two classes were just simple data types.

That sounds fine to me, but as I don't have a LCD display, I'm rather 
ambivalent about it all =)
