[mythtv] XMAME 0.87 command line arguments

[James Armstrong]

I installed the binary xmame .87 a week ago and had to modify the 
mamehandler to remove sound, mouse and nomouse to get it to work. I 
recompiled from source a few days ago and looked at the code, it seems 
there is a mouse option there in xmame but I have not modified 
mamehandler to put the option back yet. I had to recompile to use x11 
instead of SDL so I could do fullscreen.
