Replace time_ with time - this is to avoid shadowing time() from time.h which can cause warnings under some compilers.
Correct the comment - I've corrected the comment for minmea_scan(). The comment for minmea_tocoord() is correct - it converts from the internal DDMM.MMMM (degrees + fractional minutes) representation into a degrees-only fractional (float).
Reordering the code - this brings no functional change but destroys git history so sadly I can't accept this.
Overall - I've used two of the four commits. Thanks for the contribution!
