[mythtv-users] pass info for job queue status

[WiFi Fun]

This is not in C, but accessing the DB is no problem. The key then is
how to find what job item "I" am. Looking at the jobqueue table it
looks like we have the same chanid, start/end times used to identify
the recorded program the job relates to. This should work. The field
statustime; is this updated by the queue, or where I would stamp when
I update the comment field. Maybe I should leave it alone, and only
update the comment field. Looks pretty straight forward. Now.
