Actually devLib has supported the ability to write your own support routines 
for devLib since soon after the CLS & AS started using the SIS bridge.  There 
is a global function table which they (or anyone else can) implement and link 
into an IOC and which is then used to provide *most* of the operations.  
Unfortunately a parallel change to devLib was merged a few years ago which 
means that some of the devLib functions do not go through the function table; 
I'm hoping Michael Davidsaver's rewrite of devLib will fix this issue once and 
for all, but it will probably require that the external driver(s) be updated.
