==========================================================================
 SAVE THE MOVIE?
==========================================================================
When the stop button is clicked, a msg box pops up, "Save? [yes, no, dunno]"
network connection is no killed before this has been answered, and an empty 
frame has been send to the server with the answer.

On the serverside, a variable describing wether the file is to be saved (SAVE), 
deleted (DELETE), og scheduled for later descision (LATER).

It is initialized with LATER, in order to prevent errors due to a malfunction
leading to a disconnection.

If a flag is recieved, the state is overwritten.

If the state is SAVE, when the connection is terminated, the file is moved to
a folder containing permanent data store.

If the state is DELETE, the file is moved to a folder containing files scheduled
for deletion, when more space is needed (no files are removed at this point)

If the state is LATER, the file is moved to a folder containing files with this
purpose.

A cron job examines this folder regularly (test how often).
If a file has been here for more than a week, the administrator is contacted by
email.
