I did some more googeling, and found an Arduino project* for the BMP180
which incuded a formule for altitude correction (and vise-verse). The
result was that I'm now only 4...5 full points away from what it should be.

Going the other way around it results me being at about 50 meters over sea
level, instead of about 20 - and that doesn't seem right (I don't think my
ceiling is 7 meters up. :-) ).
