  by the way, i did check the changelog first to see if the
enhancements were useful enough to warrant upgrading.  the changelog:

http://linux.softpedia.com/progChangelog/I2C-Tools-Changelog-31650.html

What's new in I2C Tools 3.0.2:
· Error handling has been improved.
· Buses can now be passed by name.
· A compatibility issue with perl 5.10.0 has been fixed.

that struck me as sufficiently useful to warrant an upgrade, but maybe
not.
