plext is born

plext is an input plugin for winamp that provides an api (currently c++) to extend winamp's playlist support. in general, it takes the tricks out of adding support for new playlist types. as a developer you provide a reader and a writer function and some plugin information and winamp now supports your format.

plext was developed out of a project intended to bring xspf support to winamp. with the time invested in providing seamless integration of the xspf format, it seemed a waste to not extend this to others.

the initial plext build will be up in short time.
