[chirp_devel] New Driver not registering

[Rick DeWitt]

Thanks.
I found my \drivers\__init__.py file was corrupted, so that's why it 
didn't register.
And I thought I had found a special "Show Instructions" dialog, separate 
from the usual three prompts, but that was just the implementation of 
the pre_upload and pre_download messages.?? So I have added extended info 
there.
