Ok, with that archive, mythtv-frontend xompiles and installs.
BTW, this port should probably reduce the plist to only include the
files that are actually needed for the mythfrontend and mythtv-setup
executable (IMHO).

It looks like mythfrontend works, at least it can connect to my Ubuntu
backend, navigate, watch the program guide and so on. The tv card setup
on this backend isn't working, so I can't test liveTV or viewing of
recordings.

Well done!

Now I am going to test the mythtv port (if it is schema and network
protocol compatible with my backend).
