[mythtv] New and improved mythmusic playlists patch (LARGE)

	Attached is an improved patch for mythmusic that implements a number of 
things:

	- touch database very little (startup, exit, 2 other rare times)
	- playlists (and playlists within playlists, etc.)
	- progress output when checking files at startup
 	- changing order in playlists (default, and others)
 	- text entry (playlist names) via remote control keypad
  	- a fair bit of other stuff	
	- layout by directory now working (albeit slowly)

        This is experimental code. It may destroy your computer and 
spontaneously delete all funds from your chequing account. It will make its 
way into CVS over the next little while, but some feedback would be useful. 

	If you want to try it out, do something like:

                cd {root myth cvs tree}/mythmusic
                make distclean
                cd mythmusic
                cp  {wherever}/mythmusic_playlists.diff.bz2 .
                bunzip2 mythmusic_playlists.diff.bz2
                patch -p 0 < mythmusic_playlists.diff
                cd ..
                ./configure 
                make
                ...

Note: you need a libmyth built from CVS within the last 24 hours or so.

WARNING: If you have 10's of gigabytes of files in mp3 format, be very careful 
about making sure the values in mythmusic-settings.txt are correct before 
running.
