I discussed this with Mark M. Hoffman and we agreed that this was
lm-sensors 3.0 material. Mark is more or less in charge of the
lm-sensors 3.0 tree, while I'm taking care of the current "stable"
branch (2.10.x)

I agree that we are not very fair with your students which apprently
made a good job which we fail unfortunately failed to integrate
quickly. But well I can't work on everything at once, sorry. If you
want write access to the SVN repository to do it yourself, fine with
me, just ask.
