I found the problem after a quick look at the source code. The file
palm_installer_msw.cpp was used instead of the gtk version. After
changing that in the Makefile I get an option for a pilot-xfer
connected device.

The directory destination still doesn't work, though. The seems to
happen when the created Plucker document doesn't have a full path,
i.e. the program can't find it since it expects the document name
to use either a full path, plucker: or file: settings. I'd suggest
to change the protocol_filename_to_filepath function to also check
if the name doesn't start with '/' and if so prepend the pluckerdir
path.

The filename setting still has problems; it does get a valid name,
but if the given filename is the same as the section name it will
change it back to be autogenerated (which will change it from being
saved in PLUCKERDIR to be saved in PLUCKERDIR/channels/<CHANNEL NAME>/).
The reason for this is the check in channel_dialog.cpp (line 445).
Why do you change it to use autogenerated names if it's the same as
the section name?

Another bug is that it adds a new NEW_CHANNEL_TEMPLATE to the list
everytime I run the program. Seems to be because a "_<NUMBER>" is 
attached to it. Should probably handle the template differently.
