hmpc : a command-line mpd client written in Haskell
        -------------------------------------------------------

Dependencies:
    The Glasgow Haskell Compiler >= 6.4       http://haskell.org/ghc
    Cabal > 1.2                               http://haskell.org/cabal
    libmpd      http://turing.une.edu.au/~bsinclai/code/libmpd-haskell

Building:
    $ chmod +x configure Setup.lhs
    $ ./Setup.lhs configure --prefix=$HOME/
    $ ./Setup.lhs build
    $ ./Setup.lhs install

    This assumes you have Cabal installed. Cabal is installed by
    default with newer GHCs.

Use:

    hmpc                       : print current song playing
    hmpc play                  : begin/continue playback
    hmpc stop                  : cease playback
    hmpc pause                 : pause playback

    There's much more, check hmpc --help.

Configuration:

    As with other MPD clients, the MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT environment
    variables are respected. If these are not set, the default is
    "localhost:6600".

Limitations:

    A few functions are yet missing and a full report of the available
    commands is not implemented. Simple strings are used throughout,
    which are quite slow. FastPackedStrings will improve that.

Platforms:
    hmpc has been confirmed to work on:
        Linux/x86
