I had considered this, and I am perfectly happy to do so, I am just not
sure of the best way to do it. The animatics stuff is just another
application, I connect to jack, I just also happen to communicate with
ardour through a socket. The animatics stuff doesn't actually depend on
ardour in any way, and theres no reason for the animatics app to be
running before starting ardour.

Perhaps a configure time option to add/remove the animatics options as
required? or perhaps a (hidden) user option would do as required?
