milestone: it lives!

for the thirtieth log something special - it lives! :-D

- battery: check

- display: check

- controls: check

- sound: check

all systems go:

there are still many rough spots:

- on the software side there are many daemons still missing (pwm back-light, power management, ...)

- the system needs further configuration: the buttons currently only work in emulation-station menu, not the emulators (probably sth minor)

- the case needs further refinement, lots of sanding, priming and a few layers of paint :-)

- the setup/configuration steps need more documentation or better: scripted as far as possible (rough script already on github)

- print and assembly instructions?

Looks great. I was about to order all the components from the BOM but the only thing that's on backorder is the ALPS switch. Any ideas on an equivalent from elsewhere?
