.SYNOPSIS
    Download all images from privately shared Google Picasa web album in full resolution
.DESCRIPTION
    When someone shares a link to a privately shared album on Picasa, it is painful to download each picture if you do not have
    the desktop version of Picasa installed. This script will take the link to the album, ususally shared on email, and will
    download the full resolution version of all pictures automatically
