[maemo-developers] gpsd in OS2007 HE

[From: Alex DAMIAN]

Hi Julius,

The change needed was minimal (but breaks DBUS compatibility with
Windows, so in fact no problem in doing it :)), and I reasoned that a
newer version might be more stable in other conditions.

Still, if you send me your deb, I can put it next to the newer version.

Cheers,
Alex
