Features added to Wise Clock 2

The latest version of Wise Clock 2 includes a couple of new features:

• displaying UTC time along with local time (menu item UTC); the time zone (for calculating the UTC) is specified in the file time.txt, as follows:

15:18:45Z2010-07-05-1:UTC+05

• displaying the time in big font (menu item BIG); time will be shown as H12:MM; the digits are defined in grids of 6x12 pixels (file fontBig.h).

The good thing about ATmega644 is that one, apparently, can add code without thinking (yet) of memory limitations.

A few more ideas to follow in the future are:

- display bitmaps loaded from SD card;

- add RFM12B radio module.

The current version defaults to the RED 16x24 display.
If you plan on uploading this version and you have the green display, do not forget to un-comment the line
//#define _GREEN_DISPLAY_
in file ht1632.cpp.
