Yeah, that makes complete sense...  So here's the deal..  In mythtv svn, 
there's a new config option to enable xvmc to handle the opengl menus. 
However, at the moment, it's actually LESS cpu intensive to not use xvmc 
for this, which is why Daniel still has XvMCW as the default detection.

For those who really want to use one or the other, the --disable-xvmcw 
configure option disables XvMCW detection and configure will properly 
detect nvidia, etc.

However, and the reason I started poking into this, it seems that some 
fedora installations need to have the /etc/X11/XvMCConfig file present, 
which is not installed with any packages, in order for XvMCW to do its 
thing at runtime.

This means that as far as packages go, there isn't really anything to 
change.  However, it might be nice to figure out a way to deal with the 
/etc/X11/XvMCConfig file so users don't run into issues thinking they 
need to recompile mythtv when all they need to do is create that file.
