What do you mean, sharing scripts?
The internal db format is already locale independent, so playlists can
be shared. eg:
    <conjunction>
      <equals prop="type">0</equals>
      <subquery>
        <conjunction>
          <like prop="title-folded">love</like>
        </conjunction>
      </subquery>
    </conjunction>

However, the generated parser will be in different versions I think,
which flex can load dynamically. The alternative is to parse until word
level and do string comparisons to find if there is a keyword. I've
written a parser with the first solution, but I don't really have a
preference.
