How to build and use Rhythmbox with iPod support:

* configure Rhythmbox with --enable-ipod
* mount your ipod to /mnt/ipod (or create a /apps/qahog/mount_path gconf key
  containing the path where your iPod is mounted)
* your iPod songs should appear in the iPod source from the sidebar


FIXME/TODO:

* Show/Hide the iPod source icon according to iPod presence
* Add some UI to "Eject iPod" (this will perform a "stop" to close the current
  file)
* Detect song type to avoid adding songs we can't play to the library
* Read playlists from the iPod 

Long term:
* Monitor changes in the iTunesDB and properly update song display
* Copy songs from and to the iPod
