[sync] Thank you and a couple of minor things

[Nathan P Sharp]

Hi,
  I started with CVS from this morning and a clean re-install of all the 
database scripts from a blank database.  Authentication works and I get 
much farther now, but seem to be still running into the "<Sync>" and 
"<Final>" tag problem now that I discussed on 6/16/05.  By commenting 
out the call to createSyncOutput on line 69 of SyncML/Command/Sync.php I 
am able to get past that (although I don't think that is the right thing 
to do in the long run).   Do you have any better ideas on how to handle 
that?

No, it doesn't appear good enough yet.  The first updates took about 1 
minute per 60 or so items, it is currently up to 1200 out of 2200 items 
and the individual packets are taking 3-4 minutes already.  This seems 
fine in the simulator, but I doubt it'll work on the real device.

Yes, it crashes for me too.

It is, thanks!

Thanks!  I see the server files in there now too.  Excellent.
