writer.py
Makes LaTeX files available to Writer on the iPad, and retrieves
the changed documents later. Could be modified to work with Elements,
etc. on the iPad. The idea is to copy the latex files to the
~/Dropbox/Writer directory, and retain its project membership
by appending the host directory name to the original file name.
