Thanks all. My plan was to just download the official 0.19 tarball,  
and patch the mythlcdserver file (need to change a '0.5.0dev' to just  
'0.5' on one line), recompile and copy the resultant binary, however  
I'm having a helluva time getting the thing to build! So i guess this  
thread would have been better titled "build mythlcdserver without   
mythtv"...

I think I'll just hold out for an official release.
