 I'm working on adding support for the new xmltv features and improvements,
 which should reduce the hardcoded xmltv stuff in Myth, at Isaac's request.

 There will be at least three changes.

 Setup => Use tv_find_grabbers instead of a hardcoded list.
 FillData => Glean the grabbers capabilities from the new --capabilities
 option. e.g. All grabbers with the baseline capability support --offset
 Setup => Add support for the new apiconfig. (Currently only used by the
 Swedish grabber?)

 These all require the version of XMLTV to be 0.5.43 or greater. Maintain
 backwards compatibility is up for debate, though I personally don't think
 it necessary (XMLTV is easy to upgrade).

 I've attached the first draft of a patch which covers using
 tv_find_grabbers.
