gen_ir plugin v2.1 beta
"""""""""""""""""""""""

This plugin works exactly like version 2.02 by M. Bos jr, but with
a few added features:

* Scans selectable paths (and creates playlist)
* Balance left/right/center
* Start/stop visual plugin


The "load directory" function
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

To use this function you need to create a text file in the playlist
directory. This directory is "C:\Program Files\WinAmp" unless you have
set it explicitly. You can do that by modifying "plugin.ini" (add
PlaylistDir="C:\whatever" in the [PE1PUY InfraRed Plugin] section).

The text file should be named "Directory.txt" and here you can list
the paths (one per line) you wish to be able to scan. As an example,
here are the contents of my "Directory.txt":

G:\
F:\MP3\
D:\Sounds\64 Songs
D:\Sounds\Modules

To do a directory scan, press a number key on your remote, then the
key you have selected for the "Load Directory" function. Let's say
you selected number "2". The plugin will now read the second line
from "Directory.txt" and then it will scan the directory indicated
on that line. In my case it will scan the path "F:\MP3\" to locate
all music files in it.

The file extensions the plugin will find are:

mp2, mp3, cda, mod, s3m, xm, it, fc3, fc4, bp, tfx, sid

When the path has been scanned, all the found files will be sorted
(alphabetically) and written to the playlist file "Directory.m3u".
Finally, WinAmp will be told to play it.

NOTE: Lazy as I am, I took the easy way out while writing this
feature, so there's a limit to the size of the playlist the plugin
will produce (65536 files). Please tell me if this is a problem =)
