Thanks for the reply, a couple of follow-up questions:

Would one say that it is counter-intuitive to have one part use ebuild 
while the other part has to to svn checkouts?  I know the script is for 
convenience and we're thankful to the author for that, but would it not 
be best to cover the whole set of mythtv packages?

So do we consider this script official or unofficial?

I'm not familiar enough with github to know what hash to put to achieve 
this.  Advise?
