The branch tag is gnome-pilot-corba, and it's actually almost usefull now
(only file install currently implemented) with working callbacks etc. I've
begun implementing the set/get user info calls, may have them working this
weekend, otherwise hopefully during next week.

I'm also encapsulating the corba calls into a lib, like libpanel_applet.

Currently, eg. the memoconduit's deprecated run_config call launches
memo-conduit-properties with the pilot id as first argument. What we all
probably want, is a capplet for each conduit. The user should then be
presented with all the installed conduits, and each conduit should have a
radiobutton for one of the 4 sync methods (and a off option of course).

And in addition to this, any conduit specific config options ofcourse.
Currently, only the memoconduit has any settings.
