The SVN version of i2cset has support for block writes. This was
contributed by Guenter Roeck in:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5911/i2c-tools/trunk/tools

i2cget indeed still lacks support for block reads, but that shouldn't
be too hard to implement, now that the way got paved by i2cset. In the
meantime you may be able to abuse i2cdump's "i" mode and grep the
output, but performance will suffer.
