What's wrong with gpsd

[Alon Levy]

I think there is a definite need to provide a gpsd compatible interface,
maybe even a /usr/bin/gpsd binary (that basically does nothing) just as a
compatibility measure. There are tons of applications that use gpsd (I can
only think of xgps right now, but there must be much more, it *is* the
standard gps interface in linux).

I know, I don't have a patch, why am I writing this? to spur someone else I
guess..
