this is my idea and then you can write a simple Python script and use
all Bluetooth stuff over D-Bus. This way it should be possible to
implement some graphical tools for using Bluetooth.

The bluetoothd should handle every of these things. However the main
focus at the moment is device configuration and the handling of security
related stuff. I am not 100% sure about the interface, but in general I
like to use something similar to Hal.

Adding interfaces for PAN, HID etc. is not so important for me. Once we
have the core stuff running, the should be really easy then.
