I didn't know about them until the other day when someone else pointed them out. I should have checked the PR list before I went too far with my patch, but I'll review all of them to figure out the best way to proceed. Anyway, there seems to be interest from various folks to get a complete version of MythTV 0.21 running on FreeBSD, so we should be able to close all of the PRs soon, including 126343.
