[New software] openBmap logger (GSM positioning)

[onen.om at free.fr]

I have discovered this project as I was cleaning up my code for release. At
first glance, the differences are:
* It sends direct AT commands to the modem, and parse the responses.
  openBmap relies on freesmartphone.org
* So far they only collect data.
  We already have the Web API available to use the data to get located. Nick has
already done a lot of work to create the GSM coverage areas out of the raw
datas.

But now that I have released my work, I will get in touch with the people at
cellhunter to see if we could cooperate.
