Speaking of it, how well does the lyrics screen work on Windows?
It calls mkdir with two arguments, which Avuton changed in the conf
code in release-0.19-59-g3aea924, the plugin code uses bare FDs and
fork/exec, and the current plugins use shell script, ruby and python,
so at least plugin.c whould have to be changed as well to avoid these
unix-isms.
