a gui tarsnap backup tool

[Arnt Gulbrandsen <arnt@gulbrandsen.priv.no>]

Hi,

I have a feeling that many of you aren't very keen on pointing and 
clicking. Could that be right? But you'll still be interested in heading 
about the GUI backup thing I'm writing for tarsnap.

The thing has two goals. 1) Perform a backup by selecting what's to be 
backed up and what not, rather than writing a long command line. 2) Write a 
script to repeat that same backup. There is much else a program could do, 
but those are the two actual goals. (I care more about writing a modifiable 
script, Colin Percival more about executing a backup.)

I would welcome any kind of comment.

Here's how to build the program:

   git clone http://github.com/arnt/tarsnap-gui.git
   cd tarsnap-gui
   qmake
   make

It uses Qt; any version from the past few years should do. Quite likely it 
builds and works on Windows and Mac as well as the Real OSes, but I haven't 
tested either Windows or Mac.
