This patch allows you to set the number of stars the ratings of movies are out 
of. It appears in the US movies are rated out of 4 but over here (UK) and a lot 
of other places it is out 5. This causes all the ratings to be values like 2.4 
or 1.6. There already is an option in mythweb ( max_stars in config/theme_*.php)

New "EPGMaxStars" entry in settings mysql table (Defaults to 4)
New entry in the EPG configuration page 2
To avoid adding many new translation strings the present ones were recycled and 
the numbers replaced. A new generic string would be annoying for some languages 
where the words "star" changes when referring to 1, 2 and 3 or more of them.

There is also a second little patch to correct the mythweb version to use the 
max_stars in the searches.
