If someone does that, we seek him up and kill him. :-)

While you do that, also make sure that your LANG entries are last in the
file. Also make sure that you bump the setting block version number,
since the repeat setting must be 3 bits instead of 2 (thanks to the new
"shuffle" repeat mode.

Absolutely. We can't blame anyone for messing up a device he doesn't
own. However, one should always have in mind that there are more platforms.

I'm not sure how they should look like, but they look like they are one
pixel too high in my (default) WPS. I had to change the drawing code due
to the LCD API change, maybe I screwed up somehow...

No, you used #if AB_REPEAT_ENABLE. I'd prefer #ifdef, and (temporarily)
have it in the config-xxx.h files.
