Hello again, GtkPod types:

I've got something working for the shuffle!  In addition to creating
the new database file (iTunesSD), I had to change the "version number"
field in the mhbd object (in iTunesDB) to 0x0c, otherwise the shuffle
would not accept the file.

Since I haven't yet updated the rest of the iTunesDB file to match the
version number change (I have a feeling that is either the only field
of iTunesDB checked by the iPod Shuffle, or maybe one of the few), I
wouldn't consider this ready for prime time.  But for any impatient
people out there, I've collected it here:

BTW, Jorg: I put my name in the copyrights for the two new files I
generated.  I'm not picky about this.  If you want me to assign
copyright to you, just say the word.
