Ahh.  mysql.com was down, so I couldn't check the syntax.  Google
informed me that 'like' was what I needed, but I didn't know exactly how
to use it.  Anyhow, that makes a better case for not needing to switch on
regex matching.  I do wonder how often programs with '%' in them occur
though.  I could see getting some annoyed messages about myth recording
stuff not wanted because they tried to record something called '100%'.

Well I think it is more than just changing the button label, it is an
overall organization issue.  But not one I'm willing to tackle.

I'll try to throw together a patch for mythbackend and mythweb tommorow
(tonight's plan involves heavy drinking of fine belgian beers, so
probably no coding for me).
