[aprssig] Embeded LINUX display

[Scott Miller]

If that's all you need, check out BerkeleyDB.  BDB will associate 
key/value pairs, and it can run entirely in RAM.  You could use the 
object name as the key and the position as the value.  It's NOT a SQL 
database, so you can't do joins or anything, but it's a fast way to 
manage large lists of items.
