There is already one-way information transfer from MobileOrg to Emacs,
via the file mobileorg.org. This is processed by `org-mobile-pull'.
Could it be adapted to include a new instruction type for telling
Emacs about any new files to include? Function `org-mobile-apply'
looks like the one to modify (and rename meaningfully, and
functionally decompose...)
