bjs d8b0ac6d1a Import rtunes CVS snapshot (v0.6 plus a few bug fixes).
The makefiles for this should really be rewritten to use libtool;
using two makefiles for two different platforms isn't the way we
tend to do things around here ... ;)

Blurb:

Rtunes streams files containing Apple Lossless audio data to
an Apple AirPort Express device.  If a '-' is given as the
file(s) argument, rtunes expects raw PCM audio data on stdin
and encodes it to the Apple Lossless format prior to streaming
it.  With this method it is possible to stream audio data from
any source that can output raw PCM audio data on stdout.

NOTE: the patch and mplayer helper library for this package are
untested; it is installed merely as a convenience.
