Ok, I'll have to look and make sure the CGRAM programming can be done
in 4bit mode and that we have all the needed pins available. Also a
working code example (in any language) would be nice.

The other question -- translating from ascii to the LCD character set
is as much a matter of philosophy as implementation. We currently send
out the 8-bit char directly, untranslated. The representation
(interpretation or display) of that char may differ on your computer
and the LCD. Still, you only have to know how to generate an arbitrary
ascii char and what character table in ROM is for your device. You
don't have to guess how OWFS will mangle your chars.

Translating between common formats would be trivial. The best approach
from a design point of view would be to give the screen file a
different name if there is translation involved.

The only problem is in the added complexity. The first time user might
be overwhelmed by all the different non-obvious choices. I don't mind
doing it if there is consensus on the implementation, with a writeup
explaining the mechanics for new users.
