Take a look at the 2ButtonDialog in mythdialog.cpp.  I just added it for
the profile group stuff.  It is designed to be a modal dialog, and is
basically identical to the popup in playbackbox.  If it won't suit your
needs, just patch it so it does.  It is designed so you build it with
'new Myth2ButtonDialog(...)' (just provide the title, message,and button
names in the constructor call), then 'ret = exec() will return 0,1,or 2
depending on whether an abort, 1st-button, or 2nd-button is selected.
