Good to hear that!

Until mythtv 0.20 there was a "--disable-backend" switch for configure
but in 0.21 that one is disabled due to abuse in Gentoo ebuild. So
sorry but i'm not gonna patch the buildsystem to reimplement that
configuration. It's also clearly documented what "frontend-only" really
means.
