This gets my vote, I like to start bottom up.  E.g. build the
infrastructure first, with unit tests, etc and then hook up the
controlling logic.  So starting cdma smsutils seems like a good idea to me.

Do note however that there's more to smsutils than basic parsing.  We
also have sms fragmentation / de-fragmentation logic, sms assembly
serialization, status reports, character encoding / decoding, etc.  We
will have to figure out which parts can be re-used for both CDMA and GSM
as we go along...
