[mythtvnz] EPG icons

[Dagan Galarneau]

I started with the dump from http://210.56.39.237/xmltv/mytvlistings.asp 
which no longer contains program data, but still has a decent channel 
listing.  I had to make a bunch of edits so it matched the hairy.geek 
channel IDs, and it also contained a few outdated channels and was missing 
some newer ones.  In the end, it probably would have been just as easy to 
do it by hand, except for the icon references.

If David or Robin managed to automate it in some fashion, it would make 
life easier for everyone doing an initial setup.  The icon info only has to 
be in there for the first run of mythfilldatabase, but I doubt it would 
slow anything down to include it every time.
