mp3cover

Code exports the mp3 cover art, if present, to a temp folder 'cover'
as a bonus an attempt is made to get the image dimensions of the
exported jpeg or png. A csv report as output can alternatively be
used with an sql variant db.

Support has been discontinued
export of mp3 coverart has been intergrated with
cmdsqlite-v1.2 See https://github.com/thrive4/util.fb.cmdsqlite
