I think we can do further changes incrementally now. So, I fixed two
more typos and an ugly linebreak and committed this tool to i2c-tools
master branch. This should increase the visibility of the tool and
encourage further testing. I'd still appreciate a review by Jean, yet I
think it has a bit more time until the next release of the tools.
Although, unsurprisingly, I'd like to see this happen more soonish as
well ;)

Thanks for all the encouragement,

Wolfram
