[chirp_devel] New driver for FT-4 and FT-65 #4787

[Dan Clemmensen]

I'm a python newbie, working in a weird environment (Gentoo Linux).  I
could not run ./runtest in either my Pythom 2  repository (tip) or in my
py3 branch repository. When I forced it on my python 2 repository by
modifying the bash script to run python2, the test passed. Hmm. I'll wait
for your patch.
