 The attached script will build MythTV and all dependent libraries in one
 of 3 ways:

 - Cross compile from Linux to Windows[[BR]]
 - Compile on Windows using the MSys environment[[BR]]
 - Compile on Linux

 The Windows builds produce a runtime installation and a self extracting
 installer that will run on Windows 2k and later.

 The script will also produce debug or release builds and can simply switch
 between Myth branch tags.

 It is my hope that the devs at MythTV will incorporate this script into
 standard builds so that:

 - Windows builds are less frequently broken[[BR]]
 - Windows versions are more frequently tested, especially now that it runs
 with wine.[[BR]]
 - All testing is done with debug builds of all dependent libraries,
 especially Qt and mysql where extensive runtime assertion tests are
 included.
