I think Bharat has an EXCELLENT idea.  Moreover, I'd suggest that it would be
nice if the API (class structure) for the Java plugins could be the same so
that both platforms would benefit from this idea.

After all, this is will be the THIRD competing UNIX-based synchronization
methodology.  Bharat's, the KDE effort, now the Java effort.  No wonder none of
them are finished.  Hope one of them just beats the socks off the others, and
everyone agrees to put their efforts into a single infrastructure in the
future.
