ftdi_eeprom: Thomas' toy, needs config file but no compilation
examples/eeprom and like: My toys, no config file but needs compilation

The separate tree will probably at least dissolve in the libftdi-1.0 tree

There are pending patches, Thomas seems short on spare time and I would like
to make at least the EEPROM structure opaque. I didn't think about the
ftdi_context yet, and I will be on holidays until mid of Augus soon.
So I think (and propose) no release before end of August...
