Attached is another patch for the pluck-comics tool.  Here is what I've
added:

1. the ability to fetch a random number of comics (in addition to any
explicitly named)
2. the option to rotate the comic (requires imagemagick) -- nice for using
the hardware buttons to scroll!
3. a prettier home page generation, including full title of the comic
instead of the filename.
4. weeded and updated list files again -- added all editorial comics from
syndicated sites and a bunch of popular web-only comics.

Here's a few things I'd still like to do:

1. beef up image rotation; check ini files for proper image toolkit and use
it.
2. make browsing available comics easier.  categorize? print with full
title?
3. even prettier home page. include artist name? perhaps several pages w/
contents page based on category, etc.?
4. default lists.  ie -- top ten, color only, editorial, newspaper, etc. --
so you don't have to weed through a bunch of names to find the 'standard'
comics which appear in everyone's newpaper
5. have a showcase item in the desktop for a default list of popular comics
6. have destination and lib directory settings set to a usable default
(~/.plucker/comics/ ?)and the script more easily available for clueless
windows users (pluck-comics.exe).  Anyone have ideas as to the best way to
do this?

BTW, should I continue to post my patches on the list or submit them
directly to someone?

Thanks.

Dave.
