I just started putting together some pieces for automatic downloading and
installation of themes... essentially a myththememanager. Before I got carried
away, I wanted to give a taste of the XML that the website could end up spitting
out to mythtv client requests. I have already got this xml generated
automatically from a simple sql database that keeps track of the themes.
Obviously this database could have alternative front ends too, like a regular
html/xhtml website showing the themes and offering a manual download.

I'd appreciate any comments...
