[mythtv] Gentoo CVS ebuild

[Bruce C. Dillahunty]

I think it's right :-)

You will have to manually configure mysql (add the password stuff, etc.  
as prompted at the end of the mysql ebuild) and then include the mc.sql  
file into mysql as defined in the myth instructions.

Also, for sound support, you'll need to work through the ALSA  
directions that can be found at www.gentoo.org/docs

I just built a brand new machine, loaded gentoo and set up myth... I  
have fairly complete notes of what I did (including LVM - logical  
volume manager, etc.) if that would help anybody.

I don't know that its perfect, but I'm watching TV in the background  
while I type :-)
