[mythtv] XvMC stability

I've always had troubles with *qt*-dev things for some reason.
I had a symlink missing on my system - fixed that, but I also had to add -lqt-mt to 
the EXTRA_LIBS in settings.pro

Ahh, fair enough.  I have 2 nvidia frontends, one with XvMC support, and one without, 
and both seem fine.

ahh, I was kind of wondering how that part of it worked (or wouldn't work :).

thanks,
