If this is what you want, then setup a normal recording with a post-roll
of -80 minutes which will end the recording 80 minutes early.  I thought
Leno was only 60-65 minutes though, so maybeyou want a -50 postroll.

For preroll, positive numbers mean start early and negative means start
late.  For postroll, positive means end late and negative means end early.
So to record the first 10 minutes of Leno if it is 60 minutes, leave
preroll at 0 and set postroll to -50.  No manual scheduling involved.

For the manual recording stuff.  Have a look at the code which is already
in Myth which lets you do this.  I think it's in
programs/mythfrontend/manualschedule.cpp.
