The patches sent should add support for Windows and fix the issues
reported so far (at least the ones that could be reproduced:) ).
Until now we managed (Rick, Steve and me) to test the implementation
on Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and
Windows 10. There were no issues reported which are related to
the data transfer.

Unfortunately I didn't receive any feedback for MAC platforms and
I don't have any environment in which I could run some tests.
I am really curious how it works.

Regarding the TODO list this is what I have in mind:
- improve the UI for Linux & Mac platforms (remove the context
menu with the pairing functionalities and add a separated button
for that)
- add support for other dive computer families which have
Bluetooth functionality (like Aeris)
- implement a new feature which will add the possibility to
do firmware upgrade directly from Subsurface app

I am planning to update the Bluetooth section with the
usage of our custom Bluetooth implementation and with
some troubleshooting tips.

Cheers,
Claudiu
