Download and display album art or display embedded album art

kunst is a deamon that extracts the album art from the songs playing in mpd and displays them in the a little window. It doesn't loop on a timer, instead it waits for mpd to send a player event. When it receives a player event, it wakes up and extracts the album art of the current playing track. This makes kunstreally lightweight and makes it idle at ~0% CPU usage. If there no embbeded album art, it will try to fetch the album art from the internet.
