I couldn't make the PIL ImageQt stuff work. It seems to use a common butter somewhere. Generating and adding a second image to the CoverCache corrupted previously added images. This implementation avoids this problem by passing a byte string of the PIL thumbnail to re_render(), which creates the QPixmap on the GUI thread. As a side effect, all the CoverCache operations are now on the GUI thread. This implementation is visibly faster than the last one.
