Be very careful with the auto-update script.  When I used it, it built new
ebuilds for 0.26_pre!  Luckily, after emerging, I did not do the DB update
that mythtv-setup wanted to do, otherwise I would have been in trouble (I
had no 0.25 backup at the time).

Since then, I've pulled the 0.25_fixes branch via git and used git log to
determine the current fixes hashes and manually created 0.25_fixes ebuilds
based off of the existing 0.25_rc ones in the overlay.  It's been working
great!  (And no database screw-ups, either.)
