Since I happen to have a Bluetooth-capable braille display here right now I'll 
also try adding similar code to brltty's Bluetooth support. Unless anyone has a 
better suggestion, it'll probably work by appending a slash and the PIN to the 
device specifier. For example, in brltty.conf it'd be:

   braille-device bluetooth:address/pin

Now is a very good time to discuss this topic since now is when I have the 
opportunity to work on this area of the code.
