Comment:

 I'm going to push this to 0.24.  The only way to fix this without a non-
 intrusive
 patch is to add some form of RemoteFile::Stat(), but since RemoteFile does
 not have
 access to the main connection back to the master backend, this would mean
 that we
 would have to open and close a backend connection for each image we were
 checking.

 I already have most of a patch completed to move the main backend
 connection
 into libmythdb so that RemoteFile and libmythui can take advantage of it.
 This is
 part of a larger project I'm working on to create a directory
 caching/monitoring
 subsystem in Myth for various reasons.  That will eventually be the
 solution to
 this ticket, so I'm leaving this open for now, but pushing off till 0.24.

 The attached patch can not be used because it creates a circular
 dependency.
 libmyth depends on libmythui, so code in libmythui should not depend on
 code in libmyth.
