I think, directly after the 20 characters in the first line you write to
the third line and directly after that the second and fourth line... at
least thats what's it looks like in the datasheet. The HD44780 controls
80 characters.

But would be cool to have a function to directly jump to the next line
in owfs. writing >60 characters always takes some time...

I tried that... you can write 0 to PIO.[0-2] to put your 5V on it... so
you can have blinkenlights with some LEDs... unfortunately you write
some trash characters to the LCD... so the cursor should be in a non
visible area...
Now, when PIO.x is high you can use sensed.[0-2], this reads 1 when the
switch isn't on and 0 when connected to ground. You should use the
uncached-tree for this.
