jbidwatcher for debian-volatile.



	Hi all !

Jbidwatcher is a useful tool to monitor and bid on ebay. It used to be in the 
main archive, section contrib.

It was remove for two reasons:
 * first, the software was too dependent to ebay's website layout, so it could 
break easily, and that's what hapenned right before it was removed.
 * second, upstream's is not happy to see its software being sold on ebay 
under a new name, so he changed its licence to a derivative of the CC-BY-SA, 
which basically says "no to commercial use".

For more informations, you can see this bug report: 
  http://bugs.debian.org/504279

However, the package is still actively maintained and works well with the 
latest version. Hence, I was considering pushing it to volatile, under the 
non-free section.

I have prepared a package, you can find the diff attached, it is basically the 
previous package updated with the latest version. 

I have looked at the difference rules for uploading to volatile, it seems to me 
that this package should fit.

Please let me known what you think.


Romain
