Your comments are much appreciated.  I had very much hoped that the
script & patches would be picked up by the Myth devs and incorporated
into the main git repo and the package sources added to
mythtv-for-windows.googlecode.com.  I raised a ticket (#9493) at Trac
yesterday:
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9493

In the meantime you can find the latest script here:
http://www.softsystem.co.uk/download/mythtv/mythbuild-110120.zip

A full listing of the folder (to find latest changes) can be found here

I will endeavour to update my web page about MythTV cross compilation in
the next day or so.  At present it's about a month or so out of date and
assumes much more manual intervention.  It can found here:
http://www.softsystem.co.uk/mythtv

If all else fails I will create a git repo for it.  That may open a can
of worms though as my web server isn't apache but all custom code.  I'll
need to look into that a bit more...
