[mythtv] Talking to the back end

http://winmyth.sourceforge.net/mythprotocol.html

I'm working on decoding the protocol now. The info provided is very sketchy
I can only get it to accept:

22      ANN Playback Myputer 0
23      MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 14
4       DONE

I'm putting this into a file called test then running:
    cat test|nc  localhost 6543 -i 2

This give me:
    2       OK13      ACCEPT[]:[]14

as out put.

Putting anything else in give me bad command erros. and it seems once
you get one bad command the rest are doomed.

I've compiled a possible list of current functions by looking at the
mainserver.cpp. Each command is listed as part of a if command ==
line.
