Right now minimal.xml provides an incomplete minimal implementation of MAVLink for any real use:

- It lacks any of the enums necessary for the HEARTBEAT message
- It lacks the SYS_STATUS message which is necessary for QGC to even recognize a MAV. While not necessary part of the MAVLink spec, I would imagine this should part of the minimal definition. The enums for this message would also need to be included.
- The version is outdated at version 2 (instead of 3).

The proper organization of this is probably also for minimal.xml to be included by common.xml which should prevent these definitions from getting out of sync again.
