[mythtv] hdtv reorg, crc checking + new gui patch

[Daniel Thor Kristjansson]

I've just uploaded a hdtv-osd-interlace-v1.patch to my patch site
  http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/~danielk/mythtv/

It shows only the top field of interlaced video, and both fields of
progressive video when using XvMC. Currently I'm not setting whether
the video is interlaced based on the stream because the avdecoder
currently doesn't provide this information. But instead it guesses this
based on framerate and resolution. If the framerate is 24 fps the video
is assumed to be a non-interlaced movie. If the horizontal resolution is
720 then it is assumed to be non-interlaced (as per HDTV spec) otherwise
it is assumed to be interlaced.
I've also given the Show method a "field" parameter, so in the future a
video/audio sync method that knows about interlacing can show both
fields and not just the first. SetVideoParams has been given an
"interlaced" parameter. If this is 0 the frame is progressive, if it is
1 then it is interlaced, if it is 2 then the NuppelVideoPlayer will
guess using the resolution and framerate algorithm above.

I've also updated the other patches to be against the latest cvs and
have changed the "cerr <<..." debugging output to use the appropriate
"VERBOSE(..." instead.

The xvmc-error-recovery patch is now more complete and complains earlier
when it gets bad packets. You no longer need to be brave to try it.
