the end of the itunes scan previously requred a call to setPodcasts, in order to update the genre.id for "podcasts" in teh iTunes Podcasts menu item.  Since setPodcasts checked for the INC of Slim::Web::Pages, this means the outboard scanner cannot update the genre id, and a wiped rescan would then leave an incorrect genre in the url.  

I can understand why it is nice to not load Wlim::Web::Pages for the scanner, but we will need another way to keep this genre id available, or another way to call up teh right page for itunes podcasts.  And before we all point out that this is a silly feature: it was a request from Mr Cosson :)

Anyway, this is my understanding of how this is failing in 6.5; I am still trying to process ideas for options to handle this problem.
