    Picsnvideos is a plugin for JPilot, which fetches pictures and
    videos from late model Palm smartphones.
    
    It has only been tested on the Centro.  It will probably also work on
    the Treo 680, Treo 700p, and Treo 755p.  Picsnvideos requires that the photos
    and videos are stored in a /DCIM hierarchy on either internal memory or
    an expansion card.
    
    This is very early alpha code.  Be warned!  Download the source from
    http://www.onr.com/user/bodoh/picsnvideos/picsnvideos-0.0.tar.gz
    Test it, comment on it, and let me know what you think.
    
    The picsnvideos plugin fetches, rather than syncs.  It keeps a history
    of previously fetched pictures and videos in the .jpilot directory,
    so only new pictures and videos are fetched.  It never deletes files or
    writes to the Palm.  Once a file is fetched, it is never fetched again
    even if it is moved to a different album.
    
    Files are fetched from the internal memory to $HOME/PilotPictures/Device,
    and from the SD Card to $HOME/PilotPictures/SDCard.  Each album
    is stored in its own subdirectory.  Since the fetch history is stored
    elsewhere, you can delete files from the PilotPictures hierarchy without
    affecting the picsnvideos plugin.
    
    I haven't yet set up the 'configure' script, so you'll have to hack
    with the Makefile to compile picsnvideos.  Requirements are pilot-link
    and gdbm.  GTK is not required; I've included a hacked libplugin.h
    that comments out all the GTK stuff.
    
    There's no GUI, except for the plugin help available on the help menu.
