The problem I've always had with Marc's builds is that they have no 
version.  You're always just reinstalling version 9999, so you can never 
just let MythTV get picked up by a world update.  If you want to change 
version, you have to edit your make.conf, rather than the proper method 
of altering your ebuild.  It just seems like a messy way of doing things.
