will it also be able to generate JS code for an existing plugin XML file? 
Personally, I think I'll probably continue to write the plugin XML directly, 
rather than using rk.XML.varslot() and friends. However, having a helper  
create skeleton help and JS files from that would be very interesting.

Either way, keep it coming!

Also, since this thread is alreay quite off topic, I'll bring in something else 
completely different: I guess the rkwarddev and XiMpLe packages will be 
developed on a schedule that is mostly independent from RKWard release timing. 
Also, it does not make too much sense to include them in the rkward source 
.tar.gz. Therefore, I think they should be moved to a different location in 
SVN, too. I suggest "svn move"ing them to a folder "packages" in the SVN root 
(i.e. on the same level as "rkward", "scripts", "build", etc.). It doesn't 
really matter too much, but I think this would be slightly "cleaner".

Regards
Thomas
