I think when I was playing with c++ code for symbian, I had to run bmconv 
under wine, but it did then work.

That said, I found the c++ symbian stuff such a faff to even print "hello 
world" that I never bothered with it

I've been sending my source code to the phone so often that it never 
occured to me to package it. If only it was possible to use bluetooth to 
talk to a gps AND use the python bluetooth console :(
