Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Introduce some POD structs for describing an external server application and the desired libraries to load from it, and disambiguating between empty list request and invalid list request. This allows for overriding PiperVampPluginFactory behaviour for using a PluginScan to populate the list request.

Chris@392 3 ================
Chris@392 4
Chris@392 5 Sonic Visualiser is a program for viewing and analysing the contents
Chris@392 6 of music audio files.
Chris@392 7
Chris@392 8 With Sonic Visualiser you can:
Chris@392 9
Chris@392 10 * Load audio files in various formats (WAV/AIFF, plus Ogg and mp3
Chris@392 11 if compiled in) and view their waveforms
Chris@392 12
Chris@392 13 * Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with
Chris@392 14 interactive adjustment of display parameters
Chris@392 15
Chris@392 16 * Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining
Chris@392 17 segments, point values and curves
Chris@392 18
Chris@392 19 * Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations
Chris@392 20 automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch
Chris@848 21 detectors and so on (see http://vamp-plugins.org/)
Chris@392 22
Chris@392 23 * Import annotation data from various text formats and MIDI files
Chris@392 24
Chris@392 25 * Play back the original audio with synthesised annotations, taking
Chris@392 26 care to synchronise playback with the display position
Chris@392 27
Chris@392 28 * Slow down and speed up playback and loop segments of interest,
Chris@392 29 including seamless looping of complex non-contiguous areas
Chris@392 30
Chris@392 31 * Export annotations and audio selections to external files.
Chris@392 32
Chris@392 33 Sonic Visualiser can also be controlled remotely using the Open Sound
Chris@392 34 Control (OSC) protocol (if support is compiled in).
