Hi Greg,

I specifically removed mythtv-setup from the new mythtv-frontend port
because I read somewhere (perhaps on the Gentoo site?) that it's not
needed for a frontend-only installation.

If that's not the case, let me know, and I'll add it back in.  There are
lots of folks out there that are using MythTV in a real configuration,
and I'm not there yet.  I have a mini-PC here to set up with a tuner
card, etc., but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Regards,
Greg
