I finally got a version ready for more testing. I've added many things
and cleaned up a bunch. I added a development page to the web site that
lists known bugs and areas needing feedback.

- Added length calculation for GYM and VGM files
User Interface

- Added sound scope that doesn't hog CPU
- Added dock menu with basic track controls (like iTunes)
- Merged utility and improved its interface a lot

front

albums)

Internals

fast-forwarding

more general use
