They're command-line tools for google apps like picasa and such.  You
probably don't need them unless you want to do things such as posting
videos to Youtube, copy a bunch of photos to picasa, or add entries to
your Google calendar via shell scripts.  I'd guess 90% of people have
no use for these...they'd rather use the GUI equivalents via their
browsers.
