I compiled James' CoverArt with Banshee, but I had run patch twice and 
hadn't corrected the configuration file. Now, though, Banshee is loading 
the extensions then crashing when CoverArt initializes. If I set it to 
default disabled on startup I can enable it from the manager, although 
it doesn't appear in the tools menu. It does fetch the cover. I imagine 
this is a bug in CoverArt. I'll try adding some other extensions from 
source later.

Debug output:

[Debug 09:01:44.395] Extension service started (CoverArtService, 0.007515s)
