Oh right, I forgot about these.
The only changes in gpe-todo are related to Debian packaging. I guess since the
debian directory should not go into the release we do not need a new release of it.

Oh that's nice... we should set up this for Ångström at some point too.

Basically a good idea. gpe-bluetooth won't work out of the box, but with some
few changes it might be able to provide obex services for OS2006.
gpe-conf might work to some extent, but I don't think most of the modules are
that useful in Maemo. But i'm pretty sure they could mess up quite a lot.
gpe-synctool would be nice to have, but since it is a dock app it would need
some Maemo integration as a desktop applet or a Maemo dock app.

Greetings

Florian
