[pLog-svn] extended text in xmlrpc

Hello,
    Now that LifeType has MovableType support, I would like to check  
in a change that would remote support for using the [@more@] tag when  
posting through xmlrpc.

    Currently, if you post with Blogger or MetaWeblog, you can use  
the "[@more@]" tag to indicate main and extended text for a post.   
(This is not currently documented, but can be discovered from the  
code itself.)

    The MovableType API has allows the client to specify these fields  
separately.

    The problem with supporting the "[@more@]" tag, is that LifeType  
can't tell if a client is using the MetaWeblog or MovableType API.   
Either, the extended text will always be appended to the main text,  
or will only be included in the extended text field.  (The  
movabletype plugin allows the user to configure this behavior.)

   What are your thoughts of me making this change, and having full  
MovableType support a core part of LifeType?
