[Pianod] Track statuses, roadmap

[Michael R. Hines]

For some strange reason, google apps (which hosts my email) decided this
email was "spam" - go figure =)

Woo hoo! Seed support - that's beautiful. You know, I think seed support
will also help serve other purposes:

For example, like many other people, I have an (aging) music collection
on my computer, making it very difficult to introduce new seeds into the
Pandora system one-by-one. Pianod seed support would allow someone to
write a script and feed new seeds (say, per Artist) into the system
without having to use the Pandora website to introduce new seeds. Makes
my mouth water just thinking about it.

The new protocol changes sounds good too - I'll be sure to adapt them
into the various pianod clients as they come out.

Regarding the grammar syntax - I don't have any particular preferences
there. Let me know if you need help testing, though.

How do you test new features? In a branch?

Merry christmas =)

This separates the station selection from the playback status messages, so if it's stopped you can still find out the station.  101/102 will retain the station for a while, but station is deprecated in those.  104 stays just 104 under this scheme.
