Hello.

I've added support for YouTube channels to gPodder.  They are treated
like normal video podcasts: mp4 files are downloaded and can by
synchronized with a device (previously gPodder only downloaded useless
swf files).  It now recognizes links to YouTube user profiles
("channels"), such as:

  http://www.youtube.com/user/BritneyTV

.. and converts them to the corresponding RSS feeds (YouTube doesn't
support feed discovery at the moment).

If anybody is interested, you can download the patched version of
gPodder from here:

If you don't know how to run gPodder from git, read this:

I'd like any kind of feedback and suggestions.
