Boris Samorodov (bsam at freebsd.org) did all the work to port gammu
bluetooth onto freebsd. he is the gammu's port maintainer. all his
patches can be found at

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/comms/gammu/

(actual patches at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/comms/gammu/files/)

bsam's patches work on gammu version 1.13.0, however cmake scripts do
not have support for detecting bluetooth on freebsd. i'm not familiar
with cmake, so i simply applied bsam's patches and hacked cmake
generated .h files to enable relevant bluetooth defines. once i
compiled hacked version, bluetooth worked fine.

please take a look at bsam's patches to see if they can be included into gammu

please modify cmake scripts so it can properly detect bluetooth on freebsd
