[vorbis] Announce: ogg2enc: Perl script to run oggenc twice

I recently started using Ogg Vorbis and decided I wanted high-quality
files on my desktop, and small files on my Zaurus; but I didn't want to
keep switching grip's configuration back and forth.  So I wrote ogg2enc,
a Perl script which takes the same command-line arguments as oggenc, and
runs oggenc twice.  The first run gets its command line munged to
produce a file at 64kpbs; the second run gets the same command line as
ogg2enc.  I figured someone else might like it, so I've put it up at
<http://www.thibault.org/ogg2enc/>.

ogg2enc --help gives ogg2enc's description followed by oggenc --help.

(Fan mail time: I really love the fact that 64kpbs Ogg sounds about as
good as 128kpbs MP3, and that the Vorbis plugin for Zaurus, based on
tremor, starts up instantly instead of the 1-2 second delay the bundled
MP3 player gives at the start of each song.  :-)
