I've just posted a new version of the plugin using the newest version of
libspotify.  At present this is only for intel machines, but I will will
be working to see what is possible for arm based servers.

The main features are:
- move to libspotify 0.0.7 (claimed to fix at least one crashing case
which we may have seen)
- new feature: lastfm based similar artists and recommended artist
lists
- fix auto architecture detect on osx 10.5 macs
- fixed 2 line display on sp devices for recent albums

The new lastfm features are an attempt to make use of lastfm data for
selecting similar artists to play on spotify.  (I have found the
similar artist information is more "similar"!)  They are disabled by
default so you need to select them in the settings page.  They offer
two functions:
- replace the spotify defined similar artists with lastfm defined
similar artists for both artist lists and artst mixes
- create a recommended artist list and mix based on your lastfm
username

The new spotify library seems to use more memory than the previous one,
so I am not sure but it may cache more details in memory.  I've tuned it
for holding as much information in memory so it may be faster than
before (don't know as previously the tuning parameters were not
available)

Let me know what you think...
