I rebased my work onto current git HEAD and I plan to push this work
soon (because I want to get my stuff sorted before I work further on
playbacklib). The commits can be reviewed here[1].

I'm a bit cautious because it includes a user visible change: The line
selector bars cover the whole UI viewport width, in paricular they
extend to the menu icons and scrollbar placeholder. Please see [2] and
[3] for before-after screen shots.

Anyway, unless someone voices up I will proceed with the new lcd_puts
API. Following this new function will be a large cleanup in the
low-level lcd driver as well as list item separators (mainly for
touchscreen targets).
