The only problem with this is that I'd have to modify mythvideo to ignore
files that end in ".cover" -- I'm not comfortable with doing that (what if
someone named their movie "duck.and.cover" :-).

Since no one else spoke up, I've gone with the dotfile approach.  All you
need to do is to put the coverfile in the same directory as the movie and
call it ".<moviefilename>".  The patch is attached.  :-)
