Under the GPL I'm not required to provide the binaries only the source.
The source is the same as you will get off MythTV.org with a couple of
backported patches from SVN one of which i've posted here anyway.

Plus the "myPVR build" doesn't work to well if you get into dependacy hell
on a platform other than knoppmyth :(.

I have more than enough headaches supporting the build on my own hardware.
I had a lot of requests at BBT for a release for people's own PCs and I
just can't go there. Way too many hardware issues. Just getting the
perfect compile options for performance and stability is an interesting
exercise.
