I think we probably want default playlists per front-end. If you agree, then
the quickest way to implement this is to pick a setting variable in which to
store the playlistid. It'll default to 1 for hostname = NULL and your UI can
update the setting entry for the front-end host when it wants to change the
default for that node.

If you've already made playlist objects, send them to me and I'll patch them
to do incremental saves. This will let us update the playlist in real-time
as it's changed by the user, which means we don't need to save the playlist
at shutdown and the cost of updates becomes O(n) versus O(n)+length(list).
At the moment I'm trying to make sense of why it does a selection for each
and every playlist entry. I only have one album in my database, and it
still takes a couple seconds to load the "Select Music" dialog. Fixing
the hierarchial selection widget should make that pretty much instant.
