I2C real time clock (RTC) again.

This is a record! I seem to be keeping this thread going all by myself :). Anyway, yesterday I spent some time looking through the old cached records of this issue. All of the comments were available except the last two or so. Looking at the first line or so of each (which is cached), it looks like Hippo had added a patch. I can't tell if the patch worked or exactly what got patched. Both of which would be useful

pieces of information. Please, if anyone has any additional information before I go back to work on this it would help. Obviously, I don't want to spend time on it if Hippo has already provided a solution. Thanks, Alex
