Anyway, i feel a bit uneasy about the EEPROM updating; what if i get an
brown out reset while updating a multibyte definition...  I have to read the
supply voltage and not start writing if it is too low, so the the supply
will have enougth power in caps if a power problem occours durig EEPROM
update.  Well I need to monitor supply anyway because of other reasons, and
the F877 ADC is good for that.

Add a checksum to the EEPROM that gets updated last.  On read, you re-init
with hard coded defaults (or whatever) if the EEPROM appears to be invalid.
You also get the first time initialization handled for free.
