A quick and dirty intermediate solution might be to re-implement the serial 
interface using the Qt bluetooth api, and then compile that one instead of 
libdivecomputer's own serial code. Of course this is not something we can use 
immediately, but it does give Claudiu an opportunity to get familiar with all 
the bluetooth stuf without having to re-implement any dive computer 
communication protocol.

Another alternative is something like I did in my bluetooth prototype: pick one 
dive computer backend (for the test device Claudiu has) and #ifdef all 
serial_*() calls to replace them with the bluetooth ones.
