Some user have asked for support for the BBC Achives "In Our Time" and
"Desert Island Disks".

Attached is a zip file which is a quick first attempt at support.
Feedback is welcome.

To install,  download into a temp area, unzip and copy the two files
into the  "InstalledPlugins/Plugins/BBCiPlayerExtra" directory and then
restart SBS.  

After restart there should be a new menu "Archives" at the end of the
BBCiPlayerExtra menus.  For each Archive - there are two submenu for
the programs sorted by year and by first letter of title.  The "by
Title" sort has problem with "Desert Island Disks" as title will be
sorted by first name or title so under "D" will be "David Tennant",
"Dame Norma Major" and "Dr. Jonathan Miller".

There are some programs which are only available in RealAudio format
and this is not currently handled by BBCiPlayer plugin so they will not
be played (e.g. In our Time - Baconian Science).

Processing the XML files archive takes significant CPU time so when you
access the menu - there may be a delay typically at least 10 secs before
menus appear and a possible interruption to audio being played.

BTW - I've included the Womens Hour Archive just for completeness.
