Hey guys,

so I recently made a OPML Importer plugin, that import your feedly/late google reader RSS feeds as custom recipes.

Two questions:
1/ is there a way to load these custom recipes so that they will show up in the custom news source dialog without having to restart calibre?
2/ what is your opinion on simply integrating OPML support on the custom news source dialog? An extra button below 'Load recipe from file' button on the bottom left, that would provide a popup to select one or more OPML files.
The biggest advantage of this approach would be that all the features of the custom news source dialog would be available as well (name collision detection, adding of the recipes to the list without a restart, default values from the right pane, ...).
If I'd get positive feedback on this, I'd integrate it this weekend and have my pull request hopefully ready by Sunday or so.
