extract srt files from files.

Intended as a lightweight alternative for serving storage group content 
on hosts that have no tuners.

Replaced by mythutil, due for removal prior to 0.25.

Called per-program after recording to populate season and episode 
values.  Called globally to populate artwork for all shows.

Collection point for assorted utilities formerly found as secondary 
behaviors in other applications.

Do so and you'll break the backend web server.

Just put them all in that common package.  Since the bulk of 
dependencies are on the shared libraries, and all applications link 
against all of the shared libraries, there really isn't all that much 
optimization to be had by breaking things into multiple packages.  
You're really just limited to your runtime dependencies.  The frontend 
requires a full X server, rather than just the basic X libraries, video 
card drivers, potentially libdvdcss/libbluray, and allows the plugins, 
on top of whatever the backend and all the libraries are linked directly 
against.
