I finally got 0.4.0 installed...

First, I found that I had to "rmmod lirc_i2c" which then enabled "rmmod
ivtv" to unload the old driver.

Next, I ran "find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -iname \*ivtv\* -ls" (which is
slightly different than the 'find' example on the HOWTO page), and found the
0.2.0 drivers hiding--

  '/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.27_FC3/updates/drivers/media/video' contained:

  msp3400-ivtv.ko
  ivtv-fb.ko
  tuner-ivtv.ko
  ivtv.ko
  tveeprom-ivtv.ko

...slightly different naming convention than expected. ;)   I renamed all of
these by appending a '.HIDE', ran "depmod -a" and then "modprobe -v ivtv"
and the 0.4.0 drivers were in place!

After testing, I shut the MythTV box down completely and let it rest a few
minutes, then booted it up.   Curiously, kudzu popped up during the boot
process, saying it had found new hardware and giving me the option to either
"configure" it, (temporarily) "ignore" it, or permanently "forget" about it.
Hmm... as I had just installed drivers for it, I chose to temporarily ignore
it (meaning that kudzu will pop up again, next time I boot the machine) and
see if it works with Myth.  I'm happy to report that all appears to be
working fine.   Interesting, though... I don't remember kudzu popping up in
the past, having discovered a "video capture device"....
