Hiya,

This was going to be a quick note asking if the deps on bss could be changed to include bluez-4:

|| ( net-wireless/bluez-libs net-wireless/bluez )

But then I decided to see if there'd been a version update, and though it's very old, there's apparently a version 0.8 (see the bug URL).  I have to say I haven't personally tried out bss since having it installed (I don't have any test phones, just the one I care about), but I figured I'd mention it just in case it was of interest...  5:)

It may also have a new homepage, since I just tracked this down: http://securitech.homeunix.org/blue/.

Verified, works with bluez-4. Not sure about bluez-3 compatibility.
