+Add external tracking.  Show the status of tracked buffers in
+mowedline instead in the mode-line. With color!
+
+This code has been generously donated by [[http://retroj.net][retroj]], the author of
+mowedline.
+
+First define a function to parse the text properties from the tracking
+buffers list so that highlights (from mentions) also appear in
+mowedline.

+Also tell mowedline to use the dbus interface directly, instead of
+going through the command-line interface.
