 *
 * An iTunes for Windows script that turns off the "skip when shuffling"
 * setting, found in the Options tab of the Info window. iTunes turns this on
 * by default for new podcasts when they're downloaded, which prevents
 * Autofill from filling them onto an iPod.
 *
 * Uses the Windows Scripting Host and iTunes' COM bindings for Windows.
 *
 * Inspired by this AppleScript, which does the same thing:

 *
 * Apple's original site for the iTunes for Windows COM SDK has disapeared:
 *
 * http://developer.apple.com/sdk/itunescomsdk.html
 *
 * ...so I used this page (from Microsoft, no less!), which was invaluable:

 *
 * You can also still find iTunesCOMInterface.h on code search engines like
 * koders, vizkit, and google code search:
