I've had a chance to modify one the existing item types (games) and get a fairly usable Software Item type.
Heres a link to the code:

I opened the itemgame.xml in notepad ++ and went from there, adding different "properties" deleting others, and changing most of the class names from game to software.
I tried to add the "Purchased Price" property to Base.xml so it would show up next to the "Retail Price" property but that broke Libra, not sure why.
Also I had to add blanks to "Platform" and "Media Type" because when I add an item it would default to the first item in enum.
Hope this helps someone.
Have fun
Duhh
awesome thank you, i've been
awesome thank you, i've been hoping Libra would have this in one of the future releases (too lazy to do it myself). good job
just an aside: for Opera users trying to download xml files from RS you may run into the problem of it running the xml file rather than downloading it properly. if that happens just try it in IE or some other browser. or set in the file options for xml files to open in ur chosen editor.
