User space filesharing

[Alexander Larsson]

In between bugfixes I managed to hack up a pretty cool feature. A
program that allows you to easily share files on a network without
having to configure anything. Its not production quality yet, and it
lacks some UI, but it seems to work.

You can get rpms to try it at:
http://people.redhat.com/alexl/RPMS/gnome-user-share-0.2-1.i386.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/alexl/RPMS/gnome-user-share-0.2-1.src.rpm

Just install them and start gnome-user-share, then toggle
the /desktop/gnome/file_sharing/enabled key using gconf-editor or
gconftool-2. You should get a $HOME/Public directory which is exported
via webdav, and it should immediately be visible in the "Network"
location in Nautilus 2.7/2.8 on all machines on the local network.

Please test it out.
