libdivecomputer master contains quite a few changes for Jef's approach to
refactoring the IO subsystem - which unfortunately moves it even further
away from what we are doing (and based on what I've seen so far, this
isn't going to be a useful approach for us, so I'm not sure what we can do
here). I'm definitely NOT in favor to merge this right before a release...

I talked to Linus about this (who is traveling this week) and he was going
to take a look and merge all the non-iostream related commits into our
branch. I can see about eight or ten commits in there that we should
pick... everything up to the 0.6.0 release, and then today's commit that
detects invalid profile data on an OSTC3.

Will the SCR patch from today be useful for us without further changes
in Subsurface?

Thanks
