Yep, I agree. Maybe simply renaming "bits" to "lcd_pin" in the original
code would make it more obvious what the original ones meant.

Isaac BTW, if you only want to shrink the structure, you can do it using
a single bit per pin this way :

    struct {
      char e:1;
      char rw:1;
      char rs:1;
      char sda:1;
      char scl:1;
	...
    } pins;

Sorry I don't remember exactly the list of pins, but you get the idea.
