Froogle Data Feeder for osCommerce

"Description: Creates and automatically sends a data feed to Froogle, monthly. This Froogle Data Feeder, handles product duplicates, specials(if available), and automatic upload."

I have not used this, just stumbled across it. I figured the odds of this existing was near-certain, since Froogle is free and people love Google. So I searched, and I found. But what about the other shopping engines?

If I had a shopping engine, and I was tired of getting blank looks from people at shopping-cart companies, I'd at least look into the possibility of writing plug-ins for the popular, open-source carts.

For example, here is someone looking for a PriceGrabber exporter. The message ends with the original poster still asking about PriceGrabber-specific fields. Sounds like an opportunity.
