I looked. Even bought one. A rather clever arangement, two 2406's that synthesize a 2-wire interface to a sensor.
The code is available on the AAG site, though I'm not sure of the licensing. The real issue is that the device sits rather awkwardly on the file-system design. It appears as two 2406's with assymetric properties. You need external information to determine which chips belong to which larger device. You also have to decide if the underlying 2406's should be hidden. Devices that are only a single chip are easy. The DS2438 humidity sensor is a good example, as is Louis Swart's LCD and the DS246x thermocouples. Multiple chip devices are less obvious. Any thoughts? This is clearly a problem that needs fixing.
