Remote control #5

Add a remote control that can be used to send commands to MediaRC. Yes I
know, a remote for a remote front end. Primary uses would be for scripting
what mediarc can control and also for having a command that can be invoked
by  the window manager of your choice for a global key binding.

Dbus would be nice, but its slow to create a python instance with dbus,
connect up, send messages and exit. I think simplicity is what is needed. A
named pipe with a very simple command syntax will do. We are not exchanging
data types here, just word commands. If its really needed can even do the
remote in C depending on how much invoking the python runtime will slow
things down.

For the 0.1 release a very basic remote was done. This should be "made better" 
for
the next release.
