LCD4Linux MPD Date patch (no replies)

Hi folks,

I've been playing a little with LCD4Linux and MPD and was disappointed to see the date of a song couldn't be extracted with the last official revision of the plugin.

I've patched it to add this possibility.

Here's the diff for anyone wishing to add this functionnality too:

You'll also find attached screen captures for a 320x240 LCD screen and the lcd4linux.conf used to generate them.
