Thanks.  I noticed the mysql issue as well after I produced the log
file.  I actually went in and changed the version in the build script
and renamed the folder in the patch directory to match.  The build
then completed with no other issues.  I finally got home this evening
and had a chance to move it over to my windows box.  During the
installation I did receive an error "Setup cannot copy the file
libmythavcore-*.dll"  But I allowed it to continue and after a quick
test things appear to be working pretty well.  Thanks again.
