You can also get a bluegps-ml.tgzversion
modified by Martti Lumme for use with his Macintosh
computer. While it breaks linux compatibility his version also
includes some very interesting extensions like endian awareness and
retransmissions for transfer problems. This should eventually be
re-integrated into the main branch.
