I have often wondered whether or not there would be mileage in splitting out the 
'control' aspects of mythbackend from the tuner part, and effectively making a 
'mythcontrol' program that could run on a system along with zero or one 
'backend' modules (or perhaps one backend module per tuner?). This module would 
do the scheduling, transcoding, etc and have ownership of the database. I know 
some parts of the code have already been broken out of the monolithic 
original... might there be a future plan to make the whole system module-based, 
perhaps?
