	code away. =)

	You could write something from scratch (a la mythweb2) or patch onto 
the existing code base. In the latter case, you probably want Setup 
options for the user to be able to choose between old and new 
interfaces.

	A couple of random notes:

	 The GenericTree object could really use methods to dynamically add 
and remove sub-trees. And the destructor should be fully recursive 
(I'm pretty sure there's a small memory leak in how it's done now).

	You probably want to be on #mythtv on irc chat if you're doing any 
significant amount of development work.

	Keep things nice and modular if you're designing your own objects. 
I'm working on some low level stuff which should (if I ever finish 
it) make frontend clients/dialogs much cleaner, but it will require a 
fair bit of retooling.
