New in v0.3 (26/08/2005)
------------------------
+ Tidier interface - output log is in its own window, and is common to

  work is ready.

* local backups and restores keep a history list of destinations/sources
+ Checks are made on the files to be backed up (are they all readable,
  do all paths specified in the backup set exist?)
+ Replaced the cdrecord shell command with nautilusburn,
  and gave it a shiny new interface to match.
+ It'll actually burn CDs now - I accidentally left the cdrecord
  '-dummy' flag turned on in 0.2 ;)

  instance of pybackpack
- lots of other small improvements
