[mythtv] MythWifi Remote Control plugin

[mythtv at merkx.demon.nl]

Great! This was something I was trying to design myself...

How flexible is your current design? A number of things on my own list of
requirements:

- Display lists on the remote control device (such as playlists,
recordings, movies etc)
- Control multiple frontends (eg play recording X to livingroom-TV, play
MP3 Y to stereo in study), I think you have this already?
- Plugins for various devicetypes (I'm currently controlling MythTV via my
(Sony) Mobile Phone using a small tool called bluemote, but this is
*really* bolted on to the side of Myth).
- Context-sensitive menus (eg when pressing play in the movies menu, my
remote should change to match the controls for mplayer).

I haven't done any serious work on any of this yet, but perhaps MythWiFi
is a good starting point for me...
