Oh, and I forgot -- something things _can't_ be compiled statically, like the 
Qt database plugins (mythtv uses the mysql one).  So, really, static bins 
won't work.  I'd say debian packages are more realistic right now than 
anything else..  No-one's offered to make packages for any other distro, at 
least.
