[mythtv] My dev status on MythTV

I'm currently making changes to the new graphical setup to allow a user 
to completely setup MythTV with only a remote.

Changes:
 - When mythtv runs for the first time it checks if the database has 
required values; if not the setup is ran.
 - Gateway, DNS servers and all networking options can be setup from 
mythsetup (only one network card for now). Kind of an imposing feature 
on the system, but necessary for stand-alone myth boxes.
 - The text boxes for inputting IP addresses will be replaced with four 
text boxes and "." graphics in between. [___] . [___] . [___] . [___] if 
that explains it at all. I don't know if this is supported yet but the 
user will be able to punch in numbers from the remote and use 
back-forward buttons to navigate them.
 - All features that aren't necessary to configure inputs/outputs or get 
the box working functionally will be moved into an "advanced" section, 
so there is minimal configuration required to get the box working for 
the average user.

My question is about the replacement IP address box. Should I define a 
new special textbox or just use 4 existing textboxes and code in the 
tabbing and needed code into mythsetup?
