mdinfo: Mac equivalent to locate (since it seems locatedb isn't periodically updated for OS X)

At the time of writing the current (14660) revision of mythtv does not build for Mac OS X. One working build is 14225. To build this:

NB. Ensure you don't have xmms or xmms-shlibs installed via fink/apt-get

Alternatively, to fix the latest version for an Intel Mac:

svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv/contrib/OSX mythtv
cd mythtv
Add "'--arch=pentium4'," to the mythtv args list around line 488 of osx-packager.pl
./osx-packager.pl
You'll get an "ERROR: CPU specific ./configure options failed compile test" warning when osx-packager runs configure for mythtv, but this can be ignored

sudo hostname -s host.domain.com
