My boxes are fairly up-to-date.  I think I found what I was doing
wrong...more on that later.

The MythTV ebuild brought this in automatically.

This is blocked by the Apache install (needed for MythWeb)...bizarre.

That last line is what I was getting wrong.  There's nothing in the docs
(such as they are) that say you should run that instead of automake or
autoconf...hell, INSTALL says you should do the usual ./configure && make &&
make install, which obviously doesn't work out-of-the-box because there's no
configure script.

At this point, I issued "make distclean," made up a tarball, and put it up
here:

http://alfter.us/files/libiec61883-20050214.tar.bz2

This has the configure script already built, which should make installation
a bit easier.

Since I'd like Portage to know about everything that gets installed, I threw
together an ebuild:

http://alfter.us/files/libiec61883-20050214.ebuild

While I was typing this, MythTV rebuilt itself with FireWire support without
any problems.  Now I just have to wait until later to see if it actually
works. :-)

The MythTV ebuild looks for ieee1394, not firewire.  Are the two considered
synonymous by Portage?
