 Proposed patch to add cast (actors) information from IMDB to mythvideo.
 This patch does the following:

 1. Adds cast column to videometadata in database
 2. Adds "View Cast" button in menu that has "View Full Plot"
 3. Updates videomanager to get the cast information and put it in the
 database (note the script imdb.pl already gets the cast info)
 4. Adds cast textarea for themes.  Existing themes are not impacted and do
 not need to be changed if "View Cast" button is enough for you.  Use it if
 you want, otherwise the existing themes will look the same as before this
 patch.  For me, I plan to change the "director" container to "cast" in my
 person theme.
 5. Update imdbpy.py to get the cast info
 6. Correct to MythTV.py to get the database IP address properly from
 mysql.txt
 7. White space correction to imdb.pl for cast info.

 I also attached a new script get_cast.py which will add cast information
 for all the videos you already have in the database.  This is handy for
 people like me that have more than 200 videos already in the database and
 have performed some custom editing of the imdb data.

 If you wish to add cast information to your theme copy or replace the
 director textarea and change "director" to "cast"
