A brief update on the progress of the GUI setup modifications.

Ed Avis over on the XMLTV mailing list isn't keen on lots of
modifications to the tv_grab_uk file (thinking about all other projects
this is probably the best decision) - rather leaving the tv_grab_uk to
just do grabbing.

The data files are to be included within XMLTV, since the data files are
likely to change the most - it makes most sense for these to live within
XMLTV.

Then a 'wrapper' program (for want of a better word) which the GUI can
interface with in it's modified form. Rather than handing off to
tv_grab_uk to build the xmltv config file - it can build the file itself
based on  the data included with xmltv. 

When it comes to channel numbers, the wrapper can talk to tv_grab_uk,
but insert channel numbers into the xml output, again based on the data
that lives within XMLTV. 

The wrapper could then happily live in either project, whichever makes
the most sense.


Should have written this e-mail much sooner, but have been caught up in
lots of other things.
