0. mysql_tzinfo support, maybe point us at the docs, release notes, or
wiki.  I had to hunt for the solution :)

2012-09-01 07:59:01.640327 E  MySQL time zone support is missing.  Please
install it and try again.  See 'mysql_tzinfo_to_sql' for assistance.

1. Launched mythtv-setup, DB backup failed.  However, I didn't get a screen
telling me that the backup failed, unless it flashed by too quickly.  Maybe
have a more obvious warning.

2. When i clicked on the big db "upgrade" button, it remained highlighted
during the upgrade process.  So users who are not paying attention to the
terminal output might have thought it was stuck. It took over 5 mins for
the upgrade to finish.  Add a screen saying something like "upgrade in
process".

I'll add more once I have more usage time on 0.26.
