Ignoring the code, for the moment ... that blog is the only
reference you give to what a "Bus Pirate" actually is.

The openocd.texi updates should probably include a ref to the
official project web site; maybe the config file should have
it too.  A blog doesn't substitute well for documentation.

Maybe http://code.google.com/p/the-bus-pirate/ is the right
"official" site?  Failing that, maybe even the Wikipedia
page!

p.s.

That said ... I think I'd be interested in something like
one of those, but powered by some USB-equipped Cortex-M3.
(Or maybe even some kind of AVR).  Compared to the current
FT232 + PIC24 combo, the chip costs would be lower, and the
software hackability would be much improved.  (harware, less
so -- LQFP48 packages.)   Bus Pirate an interesting idea,
but mainline GCC doesn't support PIC24, so it can't be used
to develop BusPirate firmware (so far as I know).
