[REBOL] Re: Skinz 0.1

If Rebollers want to take advance in the direction of working on winamp,
people should know that winamp is expected to release a winamp 3 that is
really different
of winamp1.x and 2.x, specially for skins. The old skins wont work with this
new version.

> Note that this code uses the FindWindow() function to find a window of any
title whose class name is "Winamp v1.x". All versions of Winamp 1.x and 2.x
have the class "Winamp v1.x", unless changed using the /CLASS= switch (see
above). Note that if you want to run multiple Winamp's and easily tell the
difference between them, you can use the /CLASS= switch.
