Bluetooth

I know -- or assume -- 
that Bluetooth is not yet officially a part of gnokii,
although the code (unixbluetooth.c) is there.

But looking at the sources,
it seemed that gnokii-bluetooth would use
the old bluez-kernel sources,
which are now deprecated
as bluez is now incorporated into the main kernel tree.

I tried changing

#include <bluetooth/bluetooth.h>
#include <bluetooth/rfcomm.h>

in .../include/devices/unixbluetooth.h to

#include <net/bluetooth/bluetooth.h>
#include <net/bluetooth/rfcomm.h>

since this is where the bluetooth files appear in the kernel now.
I then tried compiling after

./autogen.sh --with-bluetooth=/usr/src/linux/

but this led to innumerable compiler errors.
[I ignored the advice to copy a large number of .m4 files
to the current directory.]

I'm wondering if anyone has used this bluetooth code?
Am I right in my understanding above
that it is linked to the now deprecated bluez-kernel code?

Also, how will this code be used?
Will one say "model - bluetooth"
and then connect with something like
"rfcomm connect 0 $PHONE 1" 
where $PHONE is the phone's BT address?

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
I'd love to use gnokii with bluetooth --
I think this would be very popular if it could be implemented.
