create a plist from script with iRev

[Thomas McGrath III]

Thanks for the plutil and other suggestions which are good for the  
desktop, but I was wondering about doing this via iRev scripts online.

I can create and populate a pList on my desktop with textWrangler and  
use xcode to convert back to binary for inclusion with my iPhone app.  
What I want is a way using iRev scripts to create one on on-rev and if  
not that then at least via iRev scripts to modify an existing one.
