It might not be that bad, users are probably either not going to
install TrackStat at all or install it and enable it. I don't think
there are a lot of users that choose to install it and disabled it, in
this case they probably uninstall it.

You are right. I guess I'll have to go and see if I can find some other
hole we can use for the shortcut buttons.

One solution that probably would work would be if iPeng was bundled in
a plugin. In this case the Now Playing page could be handled by the
plugin instead, and the plugin could call the standard status.html perl
code and add some parameters by it own that would be accessible from the
templates. For example the shortcut buttons and the "TrackStat enabled
flag". I'm not completely sure if the status.html perl code can be
reused this way, so this is something that needs to be checked in case
you like to go this way.

But I can understand if you like to avoid bundling it in a plugin since
it would mean that you also would have to maintain some perl code. Let
me know if you like to bundle it in a plugin and want some help writing
a simple plugin that does the necessary stuff.
