You forgot to include confbase.h in fileconf.cpp -- it won't compile
without it.

After fixing a few other problems in the code I was able to get it to
build...

Haven't tested everything, yet, but it looks great. I might be able
to take a closer look at it on Sunday. 

I have run into some minor issues, though, but nothing serious. I
get an error about not being able to access the Palm Desktop software
when I start the app, open the data for a channel, etc.

The table shows the "Channel name" and "Due" columns, but also part of 
"Section" -- have to scroll the table to see the whole section, i.e.
the window is too small (and can't be resized).

When going to the "Advanced shared settings" for the first time I think
the General option should be selected (i.e. in "inverted" color).

I don't use a Windows system, so I can't use the "Sync user
destination" option. The directory option doesn't seem to work,
though. Whatever dir I select the program still tries to write to
a "bad" dir (e.g. using doc_file=plucker:/channel/Test/Test for a
channel called Test). Seems like a problem with the autogeneration
of the filenames. When I specify a name it works OK, but that setting
is lost the next time I open up the Destination options (it is still
in the config file, though).

Also, in the Install Handheld Software the "Installation destination"
talks about "channels".

Shouldn't take that much more work to get it into an "acceptable"
state so we can make it available to a wider audience. Unless you have
tried it on "normal" users already I think that would be a very good
idea (don't want to end up with a too complicated tool for the novice
user -- the tool is first and foremost for them, isn't it?)
