After isntalling bash-completion (is it expected?) this really worked for me. INteresting:)

Two major:
  1) I would include only -hyphen lead params. Its less verbosity , and much closer to what user expects. The duplication... it did not looked nicely.
  2) do you mind to include comment to this file, which will say "place this file to /etc/bash_completion.d/ or similar and isntall bash-completion or similar to make thsi file useful"

This would be nice to fix inchangeset after generation changeset. To allow (during configure) seupable isntall destination, which by default will be $PREFIX/etc/bash_completion.d/ But generation of this file first...
Are you going to use some kind of icedteaweb-completion.in or spew everything from main method? It actually seems to be good candidate for *.in file.

one major:
" local thermostat_install_dir" ?? :)))
  - anyway this, how yo hav it now, workd fine both for selfinstalle ditw, and same for installed itw. So"m not sure what it is for.

Thanx!

After all three issues fixed, ok to head. Or rather turn one more round :)
