Port of Arduino TinyGPS library to mbed. Added extra methods to flag receipt/parsing of particular sentences.

Port of TinyGPS (from Arduino) to mbed.

Errata: it's been pointed out to me that this version calls an undeclared millis() function. To get this code working in your project, you'll want to set up a Timer object and then call timer.read_ms() ala:

example to replace millis() calls

Timer timer;
...
timer.start();
timer.reset();
...
//x = millis();
x = timer.read_ms();
...
