lyric-mode.el

The following code implements a major mode for editing lyric (.lrc)
files, which are used by various music players to display lyrics in
synch with the playing of a song.

There are commands for starting and stopping an ogg123 process, and
the timing output from that process is captured, allowing you to enter
synchronization tags by pressing a key in time with the start of each
line of the song.

If the synchronization tags are already there, the mode uses a
highlighting overlay to show the timing as the song plays, allowing
you to check the tags.  There are also commands for nudging tags
slightly earlier or later.

There are a couple of "todo"s still in the code, but it generally
works OK (at least for me!)

Whoops, google groups wrapped lines.  Here's a version squidged to
