sysutils/iichid-devel for faster/easier git head testing

[cederom]

Hello world :-)

I can see iichid is under heavy development and gains user interest momentum. As there are lots of new features quickly added that are not yet in the release maybe it would be helpful if port sysutils/iichid-devel was created in order to easily allow quick and easy git head testing for users on their workstations? :-)

Best regards :-)

I can see iichid is under heavy development

Really it has mostly achieved its main goals (HID abstraction, TLC-based bus and HID to evdev mapper) so no significant further development is planned.
I plan to do some polishing of existing code, release ver 0.0.2 and than switch to in-tree development with following deprecation of wulf7/iichid repo.
Development port is not required in this case but i can release intermediate version if someone insists.

iichid works flawlessly for me as for now. I'll hapilly test another intermediate release, though.

The goal of iichid-devel would be to simply type Make in order to:

• fetch git head
• compile it easily
• install it in a proper way
• test it
• uninstall it in a clean way

Each time new commit shows up on the git repo user could simply have it working from userland with one make from a port directory (ports can fetch git head) no need to setup the build environment or even rebuild the kernel :-)

Such Makefile can be committed into this repo directly, then.

v 0.0.2 is released. I'll submit PR soon
