[Vorbis] FLAC to Vorbis

oggenc natively reads FLAC files as input, preserving tags, since they're both 
xiph formats.  You can tell oggenc NOT to copy tags, by the way, but it uses 
'em by default if you don't specify one way or the other.

[mitchell at localhost]$ oggenc --quiet --quality 4 input.flac

...produces input.ogg.  It actually runs faster than encoding from WAV, even, 
because it doesn't have to read as many bytes from disk.

As far as recursively recreating directory structure, I'll let someone who's 
handier with "find" and for loops in bash take a stab at it.
