[mythtv] My RedHat 8 Setup VS. Docs

[Bernard Johnson]

You need to install qt-devel package.

If you have problems with any of the other programs, let me know, as I've
built rpms for the missing stuff (or stuff that redhat has not upgraded to
yet).  If someone wants to provide web space, I can upload them somewhere.
