This is in CVS, though I changed the mythcontext parts _slightly_ to move 
things into the private class.  It might be better to modify the thread to 
use a waitcondition instead of simply polling every second, too.

One hunk in NVP.cpp didn't apply (pause part of the output loop) -- it looks 
like Bruce worked around the same issue there?
