create a plist from script with iRev

[Thomas McGrath III]

Andre,

Because the iphone sdk prefers a plist for retrieving in NSURL. The  
iphone sdk has some very easy built in methods for handling plists and  
downloading them from a url. If I can get irev to build one online  
then I can make a very easy fast and simple application with  
Revolution as the back end and the iPhone as one front end and a  
desktop app as another.
