No compromises for the manage_heater().
manage_heater() will return immediately when there is nothing to do, but needs a constant detaT to work proper.
Calling idle() only every 200ms results in a display update every ~2 seconds - that should be enough.
For the other functionalities in idle() and manage_inactivity() 200ms is very long, but hopefully works.
Speedup screen update delay
and correct a comment.
A module division by 10 is slooooow. (powers of 2 are fast - but then you could AND a bitmask with the same result)
Remove SF_ARC_FIX from G5 (Cubic B-spline).
SF_ARC_FIX is a fix for G2/G3 (arcs) where Skeinforge always produced relative instead of absolute coordinates for the endpoint of an arc.
It's very unlikely this is also a problem with Cubic B-splines. More likely is copying from the G2/G3 code.
