I should probably mention that a change I'm working on is going to need
to allow the backend to figure out whether any recordings are currently
occurring and how long until the next recording.  I will likely also put
some of the additional mythshutdown detection into the libs--including
whether any jobs are executing on the host.  Making this available
through the Myth protocol (and, therefore, easily accessible through the
Perl/Python bindings) would not require much additional work.

Unfortunately, I don't have an estimate on when I'll be done--let alone
when someone will review it for check in.
