[SailfishDevel] QGeoSatelliteInfoSource in Sailfish

I will have to write some more code to spit out the sat ids to the  
debug console. At the moment my SatInfoSource declarative plugin is  
ultra-simple, it just exposes the numbers of Sats InView and InUse,  
nothing more.

At the moment my hypothesis is based on the circumstantial evidence  
that new newer devices (Jolla and Galaxy) show roughly double the  
number of older GPS only devices (N9, Garmin).

Cheers

Chris
