[Icon-tech] Merry Christmas from the Cribbage Santa

Nod I found those keys after I wrote the mail but Status definitely would make more since.

Thanks, Ken for the info on the status function.  
I'll look into adding some status logic.

If you press the "*" key when discarding, it tells you whose crib it 
is.  Also, when playing, you can review the play log which is a history 
of prior plays.  But, putting some of the info such as the current count 
on the status button might be more intuitive.
