solution 1: consumes stack for subroutine call:

void lcd_puts(char *s)
{
        char t;

        while((t = *s++))
                lcd_putc(t);
}

solution 2: no stack (inline function), may not work on some compilers:

#define lcd_puts(s) { while(*s) lcd_putc(*s++); }

There are usually two puts functions on a pic because the code is
different if s is in ram or in rom (pis are hardward machines).
