No subject

be, but I suspect there will be troubles with some portions.  Unfortunately
since mythbuntu installs don't use install.py directly, but instead a
mythbuntu_install.py that overrides some of the "core" functionalities that
need to be disabled or implemented differently, this may need a little more
massaging.

Two immediate examples:

   - remove_extras/install_extras:  Overrides the normal one to allow for
   adding and removing mythbuntu specific things
   - Migration Assistant: currently overrides the method for m-a to use it
   for other purposes.  As long as the Mythbuntu plugin can provide an inst=
all
   hook, I suppose this can go away.

As the API is still being defined for this, would it perhaps also be a good
time to migrate all of the pages to GtkBuilder?
