Have been doing some testing to see if we can release a frontend for 0.21.
Results are not so good. Most of the issues are known, but still not
resolved.
Leaving plugins aside, there are a number of high issues which need to be
resolved.

Plugins

XML::Simple (XML-simple)
- mythflix - usleep doesn't exist, replace with Sleep
- mythvideo - shows unknown prefix when first started in browse mode
- mythweather - update of weather happens on client side, thus requiring
perl and libraries - questionable

wildstar INCLUDES
