cataloguing artist names

@ARTIST=Paul McCartney
=ARTIST=McCartney, Paul
@ARTIST=John Eliot Gardiner
=ARTIST=Gardiner, John Eliot
@ARTIST=Herbert von Karajan
=ARTIST=Karajan, Herbert von
....etc.

No fun doing something like this for 3400+ artists over here....

Back in the early days of MinimServer we had a discussion that one day in future it should be possible to show an artist tagged as "Karajan, Herbert von" as "Herbert von Karajan" for display-purposes in the Artist field of the control point.

Just curious whether that day may be coming a tiny bit closer anytime soon
