Nigel, this causes my backend not to use the database on the localhost
but instead connect to another database on the network. It is defined
in '/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt' as DBHostName=localhost. It looks
like it now thinks it is a slave backend to the production mythtv box.

It also causes mythtv-setup to connect to the same wrong DB. I did a
"delete all cards" on the production machine before I realized what
was going on :[ (thankfully not to hard to fix, but still a shock.)
mythtv-setup should only ever connect to the database for the local
backend, so I guess it just got caught up in the same auto-discovery
stuff as the backend.

I didn't get as far as running mythtv-frontend before reverting
the changeset locally, but I always run that with "-d", otherwise
autodiscovery connects me to some remote mythtv backend, but I
presume it wouldn't be affected because "-d" makes it ignore
the whole UPnP stuff.
