[mythtv-users] Building CVS Myth under GentooX for XBox.

[nate s]

Actually, it's not even that complex, as the xbox is really just a
pentium 3, and it is running linux.  AFAIK, you can even compile
things on a similar system (with the correct CHOST and CFLAGS set,)
and simply transfer the binaries over.
