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.
