I haven't looked through the source for the compass but there has to be a set() method that you can apply a positive or negative value to, possibly on tha app level. The compass is accurate enough so all you would really have to do is assign a set() method to a menu calibration option to allow the user to align with a standard compass and set the value that modifies the OSD compass alignment, similar to the bubble app and its calibration with the accelerometers. Just a thought...
