[Phpwm] Intranet Google Apps Integration

[Dave Holmes]

Hi Pete,

The zend framework contains a load of classes for integrating and
automating the authentication with Google, we have used these to
integrate with Google for the submission of product data to Google base.

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.html

Our application is not based on Zend we have just used the classes in
isolation so you should be able to slap (technical term) this into Drupal.
