apply for GSoC Project: Mass Tagging

[Peter Zhou]

I will be happy to see the mass-tagging support be implemented using
qtscript.
It is already lots of dialog out there, and not 90% of the users may want to
fix their tags.
I wrote a script long long time ago about tag encoding fixing:

And I'm sure the script can do more than encoding fixing :)

Cheers,
