[Kde-pim] New application: Videocatcher

[Markus]

Why did you send your mail to kde-pim? Because of Akregator?

Personally, I think you should turn you app into a Plasma applet that 
integrates well into plasma-mediacenter and also into "normal" Plasma panels 
as icon (eg. by forking QuickAccess with its nice popup-based navigation).
As vodcasts are often quite big in size (esp. if they are HD) a proper vodcast 
client has to be persistent anyway.

PS: I took the liberty to add plasma-devel as recipient.
