[mythtv] Patch for PowerPC

[MythTV]

Matt,

Thanks for the CVS Checkin and the comments.

I've been working on using the scope to make the settings.pro file 
automatic.  The primary change that needs to be made is that the 
config.mak file needs to be included before including settings.pro in 
all the *.pro files.  Do you think it is OK to modify the relevant 
*.pro files to do this?  I tried to come up with a way to limit the 
change to just the settings.pro file but due to some relative path 
issues it doesn't seem possible.

Once I have the conditional settings.pro file worked out, I'll start 
figuring out how to cleanly deal with the vsync.c file.
