 With the 'apple remote' patch applied, it's no longer possible to use the
 apple remote to lauch frontrow while mythtv is running.

 This patch puts back that functionality by adding a "Front Row" menu item
 to the "Media Library" menu.

 Here's the main purpose for this
  * you can access media stored on the mac
  * It's possible to use Front Row as a replacement for MythMusic by
 installing [http://www.mt-daapd.org/ mt-daapd] on your myth backend.
  * If you want to adjust the volume on the mac, you can get in Front Row
 and play a movie, and adjust from there. (OK, it's a kludge, but it works)

 as time permits, I'm also going to try to add daap and dpap support on the
 backend, so Front Row & the iLife suite can access mythmusic, mythgallery,
 and mythvideo stuff (maybe even mythtv stuff)


 I know it's a pain, but I've made the patches against 0.19.fixes rather
 than 0.20. I'm crossing my fingers they'll apply cleanly, since most of
 the work is in the plugin area, and is new.
