OPML support for rss2file

I’ve added OPML import/export functions to my little aggregator program rss2file. Was quite a bit more awkward than it should be due to the braindeadness of the format. I’ve no idea whether the import will work beyond the examples I’ve tried it with, because there are no standard attributes. You basically have to guess what names people are using for things and use those, xmlUrl seems fairly universal but for the rest it’s pot luck.

Anyway, the basic code is there at least and it shouldn’t be too hard to add support for the inevitable files that it doesn’t handle currently.

Oh, and I updated the command line parsing stuff to be a bit more sophisticated. It should be backwards compatible, but you’ll be better off using the new format. Just run “rss2file -h” to see the options.

Download the new version.
