Python Party

The move to Python, which brings with it several years of my life freed
from tedious C++ minutiae, proceeds well.

The MIDI reader is mostly implemented, being at least as
feature-inclusive as its C++ forebear. The approach regarding its
capabilities has been shifted towards broad applicability rather than
the string-and-duct-tape-motivated focus of previous versions.

The MIDI output will need to be converted either straight to an RSXML
format, or to a more neutral medium, though I need to avoid getting
bogged down in over-preparing for future compatibility.

Some progress has been made on the RSXML Writer, particularly on the
underlying structural types, though it is not yet usable.
