Excellent - I’ve been waiting for that. I’m running  out of time today, but 
I’ll work on this tomorrow.

I think that last iteration made sense. I haven’t thought it through for
all the different OSs to make sure it works, but given that you used
a standard path, it should.

I’m happy to do it now - but for libdivecomputer I’m always a bit
gun shy, so I’d prefer that you did the rebasing and just pointed
me to a tree that you want me to start with (as this is a new branch).

Thanks
