i2c versioning

How about this, let's use the #ifdefs to make life a little easier for
users in the short term.  But, work on recombing the two projects now
that we have a chance with 2.5.x.  When 2.6.0 comes out, we can take
the #ifdefs out and have a unified project again.  If we get lucky,
maybe Alan might let a combined lm-sensors/i2c update into 2.4.x so we
can start a little earlier. :')
