I've always wanted to say that!

There's a bit of a delay but in a good way :)

There is a new branch called 'command' (use 'git checkout command' to reach it)
which I'm quite excited about.

It allows you to type queries and instructions into Yoshimi while running from a
command line. The hard part was working out how to get non-blocking character
entry. It probably isn't completely RT safe, but I've been able to use it
to silently change instruments without Xruns while receiving a 12 part MIDI
file and with jack running at 1.2mS!

Before I merge this into master I would *really* like it checked out on other
systems. If this all looks stable I'm wondering whether we should actually
skip 1.3.6, wait a little long and jump to V 1.4.

There is a new file in 'doc' called 'Command_Line.txt' with more details.
