Lcd4linux-plugin - Pearl-LCD display on the Dream

[fushkrujs]

Begin at first ....

Plugin is still in its infancy and will be further improved. It's going to firstonce principle, if it works.
It can currently only:
- View all Picon, or Picon half-height above or below
- Program name, program name display, time
- All free in size and position adjustable
- Brightness On and Standby
- Clock in standby

- Refresh setting is not implemented yet

FAQ:
- Lcd4linux-Demon starts with the Enigma and start waiting for the BSOH mode of the LCD display. The LCD will be later on / connected, the Demon in the plugin (restart) enabled.
Alternatively, the Telnet with start / stop
/ etc/init.d/ldc4linux start
/ etc/init.d/ldc4linux stop

- Choose a path change in the plugin config with "OK" button to
