gdocsbackup.py
	Simple Python Scripts to export automatically all the Google Docs that I own (crontab...)
	NOTE : this is only an export of the document. Due to some limitations on Google Docs service
	some kind of "Documents" can't be re-imported back.
	Drawings are exported in .svg format, useable in Inkscape or another svg editor.
	But when you reimport .svg files in Google Documents, a simple "dumb" file will be created, 
	not a "Drawing" one.. so you lose all svg stuff, it's just a simple flat picture.. Ouch!

gtransfer.py	
	A more advanced script to easier the process of migration from a standard "Google docs" account
	to a new "Google App Pro" account. Google does not allow simple migration of document, you have to do it
	manually or use this script.
	Basically, it will make a copy of each of your owned docs of your old account in your new account.
	Be sure to read all the limitations (versions are lost..) before using it!
	I have successfully proceed to the migration of 20+ more accounts with this script.

You will need : 

   - Python 2.x is mandatory: 
	http://www.python.org/getit/
	Python 3 is not (yet) supported by Google Data API
		see : https://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=229

   - Google Data API 2.0.14+ :
