URGENT: Add sensible handling of out-of-space error

| Need to create some heuristic for automatically checking checkboxes based on whether
| a target directory of the appropriate name already exists.
| Perhaps better would be to scan the target directory if it exists and check whether any of
| the files within that session already exist - if so, assume that these files have been
| transferred and sorted, and some deleted.  If none of the files in that session exist,
| assume that photos for that date came from another card, so this one should be synced.


Need the following features:

/ * Must be able to scan recursively the source directory and make a list of files,
/  including their timestamps.


/ * Must create directories in a specified target location for each date, and
/   copy the files created on that day to that directory.

/ * Need a binary copy routine

/ * Need some kind of progress callback.  Already have a routine to count the images;
/   Need to increment a "current image" counter somewhere.


Need to match the provided directory against "/org/freedesktop/Hal/" and if
matching, use the hal querying commands to fetch the mount-point.
This will obviate the need for a bootstrap script and allow camcardsync
to be used directly with GNOME.
(Gnome has since changed - nautilus now spawns a program to handle removable media
and it seems your choice is now f-spot or nothing. :( )

Config database needed with the following options:
* File extensions
* Destination path
* Default source path (over-ridden if provided on command line)

UI:

* Create some command line options - including --destination for output dir.

* Must present a list of dates to the user, with a checkbox alongside each one

* Must allow each datewise collection to be previewed.  However, reading of
  thumbnails, etc. must not be triggered until they're requested - avoid unneccesary
  reads over USB 1.1

* Must allow the user to set file extensions to be matched.

* Must allow destination directory to be set.


How about alternative backends?  Mtools?  Gphoto?
