Egress upgrade

This week, Egress got an upgrade, to version 2.4. It's an app for PocketPC, which Dave mentioned recently. It's a nice little app... but I wouldn't mind if you could auto-sync to external OPMLs. That would help Dave in his quest too.

My favourite features of the new version are:

1/ An exit button - this is really handy on a PocketPC. Previously you could quit with Ctrl-Q, but it's hard to do that using Transcriber.
2/ A 'mark all as read in this channel' button - which is just a shortcut to a sub-menu item. If you click something 10 times each time you use the app, then it should be on a shortcut.

Great to have Karl paying attention to it.
