Limited support for Suunto DM4 import
Basic functionality is implemented but at least support for multiple cylinders is missing. Event/alarm support is only partial. Signed-off-by: Miika Turkia <miika.turkia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

+Importing dives from Suunto DM4
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To import divelog from Suunto DM4, you need to locate the DM4 database
+where the dives are stored. You can either look for the original
+database or take a backup of the dives. We recommend the backup method
+as the directory path to the main database is partly random.
+
+Backing up Suunto DM4
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - Start Suunto DM4
+ - Select 'File - Create backup'
+ - From the file menu select the location and name for the backup, we'll
+ use DM4 in here with the default suffix .bak
+ - Click 'Save'
+ - Your dives are now exported to the file DM4.bak
+
+Reading Suunto DM4 backup in Subsurface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Importing the logs from DM4 does not require any special steps. You just
+do the following:
+
+ - Open the following menu 'File - Import XML Files(s)'
+ - Browse your directories to the location where your DM4 backup is
+ stored
+ - Select the backup file you want to import and click 'Open'
+
+It is also possible to do the importing from command line just like with
+JDiveLog (see <<S_ImportingDivesJDiveLog, chapter Importing Dives from JDiveLog>>):
+
+ subsurface MyDives.xml --import DM4.bak
