Changes:
    * Fixed crashes due to vinyl emulation mode

    * Search functionality:

          o When the search box is cleared, the library view will scroll back to it's previous position.
          o Search now properly filters directories out
    * Library stuff:

          o Right-click menu cleaned up, much nicer now
          o Library directory rescans on startup when it's been modified (*doesn't work when subdirectories are modified yet)
          o Library view now shows directories first
          o Columns in the library view are proportioned intelligently now
          o Renamed the "Playlist" menu to "Library"
          o Added "Rescan Library" menu item.

    * Playlist support:
          o Can create, import, delete, and rename playlists
          o Added "Playlists" to library drop-down box
                + Can right-click to send a playlist to the play queue.

    * A few build system (dependency checking) fixes

    * Cleaned up the vinyl control preferences
