I was browsing the site and came on this page today:

http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/lcdglassdrive.htm#

14 I/O's, pull down sips and 4 resistors to drive a 3 1/2 digit, plus icons,
glass with no other support chips. The PIC directly drives the LCD... there
is no LCD controller. 

Since the LCD controller is the major cost in most LCDs, extending this code
to support larger matrix type LCDs could be a VERY big deal in the PIC open
source world. 

Is that still a fair statement? How big a deal is the LCD controller?
