I've done probably 5 or more tickets/patches for mythrename.pl (and its 
predecessor mythlink.sh) and provided feedback on several patches from 
another user.  Chris has been very good at reviewing and committing the 
patches, so it's definitely the right way to get the new functionality 
into the existing script.

Waiting for these changes to become a priority of Chris's isn't.  Chris 
has enough to do keeping up with MythWeb and the new Perl bindings.  ;)
