So, if you get FoxtrotGPS from the Bazaar repository right now,
you'll get support for libgps. If you're using a recent version
of libgps, then you should be able to use both new and old servers.

I've also fixed a bug from tangoGPS, where the application would
not use any server but `localhost' at startup.
