com_sanyo4920 doesn't have much in it.  The real meat is in com_sanyo.py and
com_sanyomedia.py from which the 4920 inherits code.  The p*.py files are
generated from the p*.p files.  Running "python protogen.py" compiles all
the .p files.  Again here, most of the interesting stuff is in p_sanyo.p and
p_sanyonewer.p.

This would be good to confirm.

What I think I get from this report is that like the 8300, the 4930's
filesystem can't be read by BitPim.  The 8300 support does not depend on the
filesystem, but it looks like it bombed out becuase it was trying to read
information about the camera, which I presume the 4930 does not have.

If you can get BitPim running from source code (see
http://www.bitpim.org/developer.html), I could make provisional 4930 module
and we could find out if adding 4930 support to BitPim is feasible.
