The library-rescan code had a decent amount of source-code comments, so I
figured it out pretty quickly. I always like finding documented code.
Hopefully I'll continue to find that as I go through Mixxx's source. :-)

As soon as I figure out how to do all that, I will!

That would ultimately be the best solution, but that was a bigger change than I
was willing to take on as my first project. :-)

I don't know how useful I'd be in such a meeting, but I can try! Maybe I'll
just learn by listening.
Re: my incremental library-scanning change...right now, I plan for my next
version to allow for both incremental and non-incremental scanning, controlled
from the same progress dialog. The dialog will gain a checkbox, defaulting to
unchecked, that allows for incremental scanning. If scanning is not
incremental, the dialog will be modal (i.e. QWidget::setWindowModality()), so
that the user can't click on the Mixxx GUI and cause crashes. If scanning is
incremental, the dialog will not be modal, and changes will get committed to
the database relatively often. Clicking the pause button will also make the
dialog non-modal and commit changes to the database. As soon as I have that
written, I'll e-mail the patch to the list, for your comment.
