ConfigMaker tool for multiple configurations

Like many others I want to have EPG on my satellite receiver and WebGrab++ seemed like great tool.
Since I'm also lazy I don't want to do all the hard work of channel mapping, editing configurations, etc.. over and over again.
Modifying/maintaining one "grab" configuration is not that much of a deal, but problems rise when you have multiple configurations to run. Constantly copy/pasting site keys, updating inis & xmls, checking paths. Unacceptable.
What I also learned was that many others have same problems.

Welcome

WebGrab+Plus is a multi-site incremental xmltv epg grabber. It collects tv-program guide data from selected tvguide sites for your favourite channels.

New entries in the config file:
Extended Retry settings; time-out, channel-delay, index-delay and show-delay
Possibility to disable the skip function
New timeoffset channels in the channel list
Altough older versions of the config file will still work, it is recommended to use the new one.
Copy your channel list to it and adapt the other setting to your requirements.

The config file (WebGrab++.config.xml) of Version V1.0.2 has an updated text content to reflect the new channel-list attribute -site_channel- and the new mode w or wget to select the alternative Grabengine. To old version of it remains compatible, so if you wish you can use your old config file. I recomment however to use the new one (you can copy/past your channel-list in to it)

Added a list of currently supported site's : SiteIni-List.pdf
Added 'SiteIni Pack': the complete set of all siteini files
