Makes sense.

Agreed, this defiantly scares me. I think the best bet is to just pull a
'we picked these applications... you wanna add your own, write your
own'. I know its not super friendly, but its the same way with a lot of
backends, certain backends are far easier to parse than others. Same way
 that both f-spot and banshee implement command line importation tools.
