version 0.6: update-all, auto-fetch, single install

[Ed Cashin]

Hi.

Just released is localcast-0.6. Prior versions were useful, but
this version is especially convenient because it adds,

* single-installation design

It is no longer necessary to extract localcast into each
directory under ~/Sites where podcasts will reside.

* parallel global updates

There is a new "update-all" script that runs a backgrounded
update for every "localcast-podcasts" file that it finds.

This script doesn't kill the running wget processes when
it's interrupted, but even so, it's already handy.

... and it strips down the configuration syntax to the bare
essentials, so that it is more like bp.conf in bashpodder.
The filename changed from "podcasts" to "localcast-podcasts"
so that update-all could search ~/Sites with a smaller chance of
encountering false positives.

AND last but not least, it has new applescript that tells iTunes
to fetch new podcasts via web sharing. It used to just make sure
iTunes was subscribed to each updated feed, and the user had
to refresh the podcasts interactively. Now that step occurs
automatically when update or update-all is run.
