JY, I did apply the commit and the new libraries are now in place. I'll 
keep you posted. If I run into something I will do all the steps you 
suggested.
Is the process that describes how you developers work in the mythtv 
community described somewhere? I am looking for information like commit 
text, release cycle, are there different maintainers for different parts 
of the code and so on. I guess something like a "developers guide" that 
would prevent me from asking stupid questions and understand how you 
guys work.

Cheers,
