I originally punted the tags stuff down the TODO list because most of it
is implemented as an interface which plugins, if they support tag
reading/writing, simply implement.  Unfortunately, there's no way the
bindings can now which plugins support which interfaces, or even which
plugins are installed at all -- at least as far as I can tell.

But your mail prompted me to look into it again.  I saw that the tag
reading stuff (mainly the found-tag signal) can be implemented without
caring about the interface stuff.  So I did it.  The results are in CVS
HEAD, complete with a simple example player.
