That new release introduces a number of problems:

* more external libraries needed, none of them friendly to crosscompiling
* issues when using gold as linker
* Incompatibility with external libav
* python detection is broken in crossbuilds

And more. I do want to get the new version working since I need the PVR
addons to work, but that is a lot more work than cleaning up this
known-working version.

The patches I'm sending are part of my xmas vacation project to get my xbmc
setup streamlined and using the FRI2 ELC giveaway as frontend. The backend
portion is done (tvheadend + oscam), now it's time for frontend (xbmc + pvr
addon) and middleware (transcoding.
Ross has impeccable timing with his upnp work as well :)

regards,

Koen
