It is annoying (to me, because I keep forgetting you need to make 
install before building the plugins).  It is also an extra unnecessary 
step to install the main components first.  (I think, I'm not sure if 
this would be problematic regarding linking, but I don't think it would 
be because the programs are linked to the libraries in the git repository.)

Regarding moving the directories around, moving mythplugins into mythtv 
should (I think) make it easier to build the plugins with the same make 
command as the rest of the code.  (I would still require a separate make 
install command to install the plugins.  Maybe have "make install 
plugins" install the programs and libraries if necessary?)

I would then dump the contents of mythtv into the root directory to 
remove an unnecessary, extra level from the directory tree because the 
root directory would otherwise be basically empty.
