converting from shoutcast to icecast

because of dissatisfaction with several aspects of shoutcast i decided to migrate kpsu's streaming servers (hi, lo) to icecast.

the hardest part was poking around until i found the sample shoutcast config file (icecast_shoutcast_compat.xml). after that i setup the server on a different port to test it, added a few extra entries:

<shoutcast-mount>/listen</shoutcast-mount>
<paths>
    <logdir>./logs</logdir>
    <webroot>./web</webroot>
    <adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
    <alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
    <alias source="/listen.pls" dest="/listen.m3u"/>
</paths>

the shoutcast-mount and the aliases provide a bit of backwards compatilbity for old links.
