Well, it is a problem. If we don't respect the abstractions we create
then things like function names become meaningless. A function called
"lcd_enable" should do just that- enable lcd. Not load stuff from
storage to memory or manipulate BMPs.

The motivation behind the CONFIG was to make it a documentable user 
setting, rather than an undocumented feature buried in the code.
