Yes, this will indeed change. Those ifdef's will be removed.

To support multiple transports per device, the dc_transport_t enum will 
be changed into a bitfield. The dc_descriptor_get_transport() function 
will always return all transports, even the ones for which no built-in 
implementation is available. So it's up to the application to filter out 
devices for which there is no suitable transport available. This is 
necessary to support custom transports. (With custom transports, 
libdivecomputer no longer knows which transports are supported. It only 
knows about the built-in ones.)

To query which built-in transports are available, I will also add some 
new api. Probably a function which returns a simple bitmask, or maybe 
some modification to filter out descriptors based on some extra 
parameter (e.g. all or only built-in).
