Does the update_track_from_file function in src/file.c catch this sort
of change?  If it does, can it be called whenever fetchcover updates
the coverart?  If not, should that function be updated to catch this
sort of change?

Yeah, I haven't looked closely to see how the code works.  I don't
know if there's a good place to grab the hash or timestamp of the
original artwork.

There are sha1_hash_on_* functions in src/sha1.c.  Though a timestamp
might be easier and should be sufficient.

Yeah, I am very much a creature of habit. :)
