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. If there no embbeded album art, it will try to fetch the album art from the internet. This maks kunstreally lightweight and makes it idle at ~0% CPU usage.
