Ok, I've added myself into it.

I've just pushed everything into:
	http://git.linuxtv.org/tvtime.git

For now, it is showing as version 1.0.4. I'll rename it to 1.1.0 after getting
some feedback and maybe some additional fixes, and add an announcement about
that when we'll be there.

I tested it yesterday, and it seems to be working properly. Mikael patches
were putting it on a borderless mode, with looked weird on my eyes ;)
So, I added a new parameter (-L) to allow selecting the borderless mode
for those that prefer that way. The default is to have borders.

Maybe Hans de Goede would also like to get his hands on it, as he wrote
a few patches for it on Fedora.

Thanks,
