• Exposed new md_Compare function
• Change metadata_t, artistresult_t, albumresult_t and albumtrackresult_t to use static strings rather than dyanmic memory allocation
• Tunepimp constructor now takes an optional pluginDir argument -- if this is specified then the given dir will be scanned for plugins and the default plugin locations will be ignored. This argument is also exposed via tp_NewWithArgs()
• Added mb_Similarity() function to expose astrcmp() to the outside world
