Petrel 2 bluetooth link

Hi there,

Note that the testing version is just that.  It works for me, and your help

I didn't have the chance to test it with Bluez-4.X but it should work.
It would be a great help for us if you will give me some feedback, Andrej.
If you encounter any problems please let me know. I will try to create the
same environment and help you fix the issues.

Also you should know that pairing with devices which require a custom
PIN code isn't supported yet. Therefore if the pairing step fails, you
should
try to pair the devices manually (using bluedevil, bluetoothctl or other
tools).

Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your diving days! I hope that as soon
as you come back from your trip I will have finished the Windows installer.
Currently I managed to test it on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and the
download process works fine the first time. When you try to do some
consecutive downloads it fails.

Cheers,
Claudiu
