Just tried that myself...  To get it to compile, copy ppbconf.h and
ppi.h out of /usr/src/sys/dev/ppbus into the same directory as
ppilcd.c and its Makefile.  Then make depend && make all.  You'll get
an executable called ppilcd.  What you do with it from there is up to
you.  :-)

P.S.  You can read the code to pretty easily find out the commandline
parameters it supports.  The usage() function isn't called when no
paramaters are given, so you'll have to give it an unused parameter
like -x to get its usage.
