Hi Niels,
while thinking about changes to libbluetooth you might want to
introduce some more Linux bluez compatibility. There is some yet, but I
wasn't able to compile many apps that rely an bluez. Additioally, I'm
no coder so my expierences in this may also be false.
But I just wanted to give a hint if you start thinking on
changes/enhancements.
