Thanks, this seems like a good idea to me.

Now that I've managed to build mythfrontend by editing makefiles after
their generation I suppose I should have a crack at this.

Generally, debugging this seems like it's going to be rather difficult
as gdb doesn't behave 100% normally for me. It gives apparently
"benign" segfaults whenever a pthread operation is performed, and I'm
having difficulty getting it to follow the execution into the Init
method where the database connection starts (and is failing for me).

Robert, are you still working on this, would you like my diff so far?
