	Both projects currently ONLY talk to PalmOS-based handheld devices,
one very specific brand of PDA, and do not work with WindowsCE devices,
Agendas, Psion, Zaurus, or any other PDA on the market, hence the name.

	pilot-link will not be renamed.

	I'm not sure what the gnome-pilot guys want to do, though so I can't
speak for them. Eventually, I'm sure both projects will mature to work with
other PDA devices, but at that point, new interfaces and libraries will need
to be written, it's not simply a matter of pointing gnome-pilot or
pilot-link to the new device on a port.
