Number of satellites reported as zero during CLI test of MediaTek GPS receiver

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Run CLI GPS test with MediaTek receiver
2.Observe results
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?  I expect to see the 
number of satellites reported.  Instead I see 0.  Position fix data is accurate 
and MediaTek LED is solid blue.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest 
Beta version.  But this has never worked correctly on any of the Beta versions. 
 XP operating system.

Please provide any additional information below.

The code currently does not support number of satellites.  We're seeing about 
changing that in the future, but it doesn't inhibit normal APM operation right 
now.  See also issue 142.

Replace Serial.printf_P(PSTR(" Alt: %dm, #sats: %d\n"), GPS.altitude/100, 
GPS.num_sats); (in test.pde) 

with...

Serial.print(" Alt:");
Serial.print(GPS.altitude / 100.0, 2);
Serial.print("m");
Serial.print(" SAT:");
Serial.print(GPS.num_sats, DEC);
Serial.println(" ");
