[mythtv] [PATCH] Enable/Disable OpenGL VSync via mythfrontend or environment variable

[Joe Votour]

Jarod,

I found the problems.  Two of them actually:
1. I mimicked the XvMC behavior too well - I put in
the connect(...) slot and that led to the option being
greyed out.
2. The mythfrontend program was never being compiled
with OpenGL vsync support (which is why you didn't see
the option).

I have attached new patches that I made against CVS
HEAD from about one hour ago.

I'm still not 100% sure about the database retention -
it's staying put for me, but I'd appreciate some extra
feedback.
