Making MenuTunes use the ITKit, for ITStatusItem. There are a few notes:

1-) In order to build MenuTunes from this point forward, you
will need to check out the ITKit and build it.
2-) The ITKit project folder will need to be in the same folder as
MenuTunes.  For example, I have both ITKit and MenuTunes inside ~/Projects.

So, check MenuTunes out wherever you keep your projects, build it, and
all should go well.  The MenuTunes project will find ITKit, link against
it, and copy it inside the MenuTunes app package.

If you have any questions, ask me IMMEDIATELY.  Thanks!
