[wp-xmlrpc] Handling Custom Post Types in WP 3.0 via XMLRPC

[David Weiss]

It's really just a total hack - I added elseif statements and hard-coded
post types, assigning them to $post_type.

I suppose the right thing to do is take the
$content_struct<http://_variables/content_struct.html>['post_type']
and test it against registered post types, test for permission, and assign
it to the $post_type or return the error.

If I get around to doing that some time soon, I'll send it along.
