#4013: Prompt before upgrading database schema
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  nigel        |       Owner:  ijr 
     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new 
 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  0.21
Component:  mythtv       |     Version:  head
 Severity:  medium       |     Mlocked:  0   
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 This adds a new method, MythContext::!PromptForSchemaUpgrade() which if
 possible asks the user before upgrading the database schema. If the
 context has a GUI (mythtv-setup, mythfrontend) it will use a Popup. If the
 context has no GUI (mythbackend and friends), it prompts in the command
 shell (unless stdin or stdout is redirected, in which case it defaults to
 the current behaviour - upgrading).
 [[BR]][[BR]]
 If the user/developer wants to always live dangerously, set
 DBSchemaAutoUpgrade in the database.

 The patch enables this for TV database schema upgrades only, but it could
 also be added to plugins.

 Please test. Bug reports, better warning messages or button labels are all
 very welcome.

 I would like to add this soon, before too many UPnP autodiscovery testers
 wreck their backends :-)
