[mythtv] Showing Recording Changes

It would be nice to see how the recording schedule changes when I
add/edit/delete a recording schedule.  For example, scheduling RainMan
to record might yield:

Sat 10/29 3... 42 TNT   Rain Man                 -  1
Sat 10/29 4... 6 WJAC   Stargate SG-1 - "Avatar" 1  L
Mon 10/31 ...  9 WNPA   Stargate SG-1 - "Avatar" E  1

showing that Rain Man will now be recorded (not even considered
before) and that an episode of Stargate SG-1 will be recorded later
than before.

As you are likely aware, the interactions can be quite complex, as
scheduling a recording can cause later showings to fire, which then
conflict with later shows.  There does not appear to currently be a
way to see the results.

I've been playing around with doing this, but the feature seems
obvious (although I could not find it on UserwishList), so I wanted to
check if there's other current work on it.  I have what appears to be
a working implementation.  It needs some clean-up, testing, and to
complete the theme edits (currently, have only changed the theme I
use).

If anyone is currently working on this, or has a working version, drop
me an e-mail.
