i would very much like to work on this implementation, but it's a bit
hard for me at the moment to give any promises due to a stacked
schedule. i would much rather like to see someone else to start this
out.

for those reading there are examples of a similar GTK dialog in the
webservice.c file, where we also use libsoup to download from the web
service.
if there aren't any takers i can certainly start on this, but probably
much slower than usual.
