Are you sure this actually works?  I glanced at the code and wasn't
convinced it was taking sufficient care to cope with this possibility.
Normally people use a fixed regulator for a regulator with a simple
on/off switch (which allows the voltage to be specified which this
won't...) so I'd be somewhat surprised if it were tested.
