Thanks a lot for this write-up.  It was easy to follow and it resulted 
in a working myth frontend running on my iMac.  I had a previous build 
running on my mac, but it was a 0.16 release, and my backend server is 
running CVS.  This write-up allows me to keep them both in sync since 
I can use CVS code on my mac install now.

One note; the mysql package is now 4.1.9, and the 4.1.7 release you 
reference in the doc is no longer available at that URL.  4.1.8 has a 
bug in its configure.in, so just use the 4.1.9.

Anyone else excited about the possibility of a mini Mac myth frontend? 
   A little 6.5" x 6.5" x 2" box hooked right up to the TV.  The last 
hurdle to overcome now is the remote control input.  Perhaps a 
USB-based IR dongle....  Anyone have ideas on that?

-Mike
