Well, I got past that (seems to be a naming issue as I thought but 
easily corrected).  Any idea on this one:

oc_previewgenerator.o moc_dvbtransporteditor.o  -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib 
-L../libmyth
-L../libavutil -L../libavcodec -L../libavformat -L../libmythmpeg2

cannot find
 -lmyth-0.18
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [cygmythtv-0.18-0.so] Error 1

libmyth-0.18-0.so exists in the ../libmyth folder but nothing seems to 
make the linker find it.  Tried changing the library name to myth-0.18-0 
but that doesn't help.  Just looking for suggestions.
