 This is a patch to add two new command line options to mythcommflag.  They
 are:

 --getskiplist-avidemux

 and

 --getcutlist-avidemux

 These options, combined with --outputfile somefile, will export the cut
 and skip lists as AVIDemux compatible project files.  This is useful for a
 number of reasons, principally for the lossless commercial cutting of
 formats like H.264 and XVid produced by several new hardware encoders,
 most notably the Hauppauge HD-PVR.  This simplifies the workflow by
 generating a working, correct AVIDemux project file, requiring only a
 "File->Save" in AVIDemux to produce an edited copy of the recording.  It
 can also be accomplished in a user job with a single command line.

 Known defects include:

 The last frame of the project is always set to frame 1,000,000 since, try
 as I might, I was unable to get nvp->GetTotalFrameCount() to return any
 value.  If someone knows the NuppelVideoPlayer options better than I do,
 it is very likely a simple fix.  To work around the problem I just set the
 last frame number to something obscenely high.  AVIDemux just amends that
 number to the actual last frame when it opens the project.
