Fair enough. Four applications with libbt need separate ports, but
then the port is a setting in the application rather than libbt. And
if there is no setting, just use any free dynamic port. As for the
application, it can either inform libbt about the setting, or do the
work on it's own and provide libbt a socket after bind() and
listen().

IMHO, an application shouldn't ever need to and possibly not even be
able to "start" more than one instance of libbt, this is one reason,
there are probably more.
