Yes, I did mine.  I'd would have prefered the installer to put the xml file
straight into the xPLHal/plugins folder, but I couldn't see how to get the
installer to do it.

Documentation is a nightmare, but it does need to be done.  It would also
for all the xPL software to be listed together, even if it is not hosted on
the xPLProject site.  My W800 service isn't one of the xPLProject
downloads,
so it doesn't appear in the downloads section (hence people may miss it).

I plan to do proper documentation when I update the C++ lib - I'll also
de-orange my site at the same time ;-)
