[GSoC2012] Introduction / Impress smartphone remote control

[Noel Grandin]

Hopefully we should be trying to integrate with existing standards and 
solutions.
On Windows that would be things like LIRC and the Bluetooth-HID
http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/developer.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Human_Interface_Device_Profile_.28HID.29

I note that there is a C-language open-source cross-platform library for 
doing Bluetooth-HID interfacing here:
https://github.com/signal11/hidapi
(And it's BSD licensed)

Regards, Noel.
