I've got just one thing to say about all this : Mike, you're completely 
mad :)

It needed to be done.

Nice, i didn't know it existed.

...why not..

I'm not really fine with this.. but i'll try it => connect/disconnect 
calls should be distinct IMHO.

Already done in my diff :) I'll try to change the button icon.

Ok for this.

Err.. well... this is a f.....k big patch, and i've already got a diff 
of + 4615 / - 4139 lines in my sources. So i'll have to apply this by 
hand, reviewing each lines :)

As stated in my last commit, i'm currently rewriting all the libmpd 
interface, to let the choice to the user to use either libmpd (if 
present, reliable (?), but makes binary bigger), or my own 
implementation (plain old socket()/send()/recv(), much more lighter and 
clean)
I think your patch should'nt interfere too much with this rewrite, but 
the merge would be a nightmare :)

Finally, what was the indent command line you used for the code ? diff 
lines only containing indentation diffs make me completely MAD, so i'd 
like to have a common indentation guideline.
