More HW from OpenMoko

[Rodolphe Ortalo]

Given the freerunner hw, you can certainly do much better than that!
I would expect something like "mathematica in your pocket"... ;-)
(In fact, you sort of have already the rpn calculator via "dc".)

Hey, that's what I wanted as a second project after doing the current
"simple" calculator. But I was short of time for trying to do it (plus
the fact that it is not easy do decide between doing something entirely
new and porting an existing software).
