lyrics: converted in-process plugins to external programs
In-process plugins are very problematic. It is much easier and flexible to move the lyrics plugins to external programs, with a trivial protocol. This is work in progress, among the things missing: - protocol specification, including exit codes - plugin installation - plugin search directory - run-time configuration (currently hard coded) - automatic polling (using glib's main loop?) - better and more robust error handling
