You've implemented a lot of things that GPSBabel already has such as
word size and endianness handling. We have our own serial handling
(works on Windows and POSIX) and we can't use C99's designated
initializers. I don't see any deal-breakers at a glance.
That said, you've done the hard part. You've identified the word size
and endian dependencies and you've whipped the protocol itself into
submission. Marrying into GPSBabel's abstractions for those things and
the key data types (see the skeleton files in our source tree) is a
pretty mechanical exercise.

We have some realtime tracking support but it's admittedly pretty crude.
I'd focus on the basic integration first. Let us know when you're
ready to tackle specifics.
