think about adding all you need to pand and then start it for example
with a --dbus option to activate that service via D-Bus.

When writing code use the BlueZ coding style. This means, use tabs. For
the patches, create them with "cvs diff -u" from the BlueZ CVS and make
sure that you executed "make maintainer-clean" first.
