 * unsigned char *checksum_NMEA( const unsigned char *input_str, unsigned char *result );
 *
 * The function checksum_NMEA() calculates the checksum of a valid NMEA string.
 * The routine does not try to validate the string itself. A leading '$' will
 * be ignored, as this character is part of the NMEA sentence, but not part of
 * the checksum calculation. The calculation stops, whenever a linefeed,
 * carriage return, '*' or end of string is scanned.
 *
 * Because there is no NMEA syntax checking involved, the function always
 * returns with succes, unless a NULL pointer is provided as parameter. The
 * return value is a pointer to the result buffer provided by the calling
 * application, or NULL in case of error.
 *
 * The result buffer must be at least three characters long. Two for the
 * checksum value and the third to store the EOS. The result buffer is not
 * filled when an error occurs.
