The idea here is that you might be able to connect to the server in  
two different ways, webdav and scp.  Emacs can then use scp, so that  
you do not have to mount the server on your computer.  MobileOrg will  
then use webdav.

Note that there is a version of MobileOrg coming up with Dropbox  
support.  I have tested it already - it makes the entire world of pain  
with webdavs go away... :)
