Liblrdf is designed for use by LADSPA host authors, but its growing in
scope a bit and I might change to name to reflect that, as it looks like
its going to be used to drive all ardour's metadata needs.

The current version of jack-rack can use it to sort plugins into helpful
categories. Which is damn useful.

I wouldn't worry about rdfdump, its just an example app and not very
useful.
