 This patch integrates PHP Gallery 2(http://gallery.menalto.com/) into
 MythGallery. It leverages the "Gallery Remote Protocol" and is a read-only
 integration. (The File... menu item is disabled.) The patch caches all of
 the image data to the local MythGalleryDir for improved performance.[[BR]]
 There are two new settings that were added to support the
 integration.[[BR]]

 1) PHP Gallery URL - Point this to your PHP Gallery installation.[[BR]]

 2) Refresh Gallery Cache -  Enabling this setting forces the MythGallery
 to go back to the PHP Gallery server to refresh its cached images.[[BR]]

 Please note that the Gallery Remote Protocol has a few of its own
 limitations that I was not able to work around (If anyone has any ideas,
 please let me know.):[[BR]]

 1) It does not leverage the PHP Gallery sort order. It only seems to
 return items in alphabetical order.[[BR]]

 2) It does not leverage PHP Gallery defined highlight. The integration
 just uses the first item in the album as the highlight.[[BR]]

 3) It does not support item types other than images.[[BR]]

 When the new PHP Gallery XML-RPC Protocol is released, I would assume that
 this patch could be ported.
