The 'summary' field in timers.conf, if present, is used as the
'description' text in info.vdr when a recording is made (and overwrites
whatever came from the related EPG data).

Personally I don't use that field in any way, so if we could agree on some
delimiting character that separates 'description' from 'comment', as in

   ...:Description of what happens#some arbitrary comment

where '#' would be that new delimiter. Everything before the delimiter
would go into the 'description', and everything after it would simply
be stored and otherwise ignored by VDR.

If we do this I would also like to make the use of the high 16 bit of the
'status' field obsolete, since this information can and should then be stored
in the 'comment'.
