Cool, welcome.  If you're looking to integrate the cosmetic changes you've
made, be sure you've made them on a CVS checkout and not on the pre6 sources,
because I made a significant number of cosmetic fixes for pre7.

This would probably fit better under the title fetcher...e.g. parallel to or in
clsGetTitle.  If you want to be able to do it at other times (e.g. after the
bookmark has been added), a context menu item might be nice.

Non-trivial indeed :).

Sounds like a fine idea to me.

I have not made very much use of the synchronize command, but isn't this what
frmSyncronizeProgress already does?

Glad to see another face around here :).
