[jp] Pics&Videos JPilot plugin for testing

Version 0.1 of the Pics&Videos plugin is now available from
SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/picsnvideos/.

Picsnvideos is a plugin for JPilot, which fetches pictures and videos
from late model Palm smartphones.

See below for more information.

Version 0.1 now follows the standard './configure; make; make install
(or 'make local_install', see INSTALL).

Any feedback is appreciated.
