Xbmc a wash

I tried to get xbmc to work on my media server as a way to improve the streaming from my laptop, and to try something else. Well, I had problems getting it compiled on my gentoo VM, primarily due to lack of disk space. So I'm charging that to the game.

I was able to tweak my portable mplayer settings so that I can stream iPod videos wirelessly to my laptop with ampache. So I am going back to transcoding vids with ffmpeg. That means I need to recompile my kernel to support MMXEXT option. More on that later.
