No problemo. I presume you've already noticed I built them trying out 
Chris' modified spec file.

One minor problem I see with what you've got pushed out right now 
though... You need to rebuild the plugins, as mythbrowser and mythdvd 
depend on a specific lib, and one of the changes in -fixes in prep for 
calling it a 0.18.1 release was to bump the libversion from 0.18 to 
0.18.1. See Fedor Pikus' email on atrpms-users for the resulting 
effect.

Well, the call was more for folks to test the code than the packages, I 
just put the packages out there as an added convenience, since I had 
them built anyway.
