I used the CVS just before 0.17 came out and the ebuilds when it was 
released. The ebuilds were a no-brainer to setup. There are some USE 
flags that you need for stuff like nuvexport and ffmpeg that I haven't 
seen documented anywhere (aac, threads and another that I don't recall 
right now), but other than that, no problems.

Most other sundry files are in portage - it's possible that there's 
something missing but I haven't found anything.

There's been no real need for any config file management issues (MythTV 
has just one config file AFAIK and you normally edit it through 
mythsetup, the rest is in the database).
