	My bad.  While I was cruising around the source, I only remembered 
seeing a Makefile.standalone in the replex dir.  Now that I saw there was 
one in the mythtranscode directory, I hacked it up to make mpeg2fix 
compile.  It appears to be working, although I don't see nearly as many 
discontinuities in the input file as I remember.

	Does this standalone version of the code still use the most recent 
rolled into mythtranscode?
