TagLib in XBMC

[Geoffrey McRae]

It currently is static linked at the moment, but we don't want to, nor
should we have to maintain patches to implement this functionality. Also
under Linux the system library should be used instead.

It would be much better if you could pass taglib an IO handler class
from the calling application itself that implemented just the basic,
open, read, write and seek.

If I was to patch this functionality into TagLib would you welcome a
patch? Keeping backwards compatibility of-course so as to not break
existing applications.
