Comment 9 for bug 1051106

Hm, some people have gigantic libraries and making mixxx unusable during
the scan via modal dialog would be bad. I like the idea of periodic
commits of the scanner if only so that people who have large libraries can
start to use the library before the scan is finished. I would prefer we fix
locking issues by switching all library access to a single thread.
