Those folks seem to be writing a myth frontend for Windows directly. Another appraoch would have been to port it using cygwin and cygwin/X, though that would be heavier. But then easier to run on that liveCD. They report having to do a lot of work to figure out the protocol for myth, which surprises me, I would have hoped the myth linux developers would have been willing to spend a short time documenting it for them. Of course they had the source, which makes figuring it out a lot easier than packet sniffing, if harder than having docs. I presume the myth folks may also not want to etch their protocol in stone, which happens when other folks write implementations. There is a knoppmyth livecd (which boots your machine, you don't run it under windows) which includes mythfrontend, though it's a pain to have to configure the raw IPs of your database each time. (Perhaps they did it and I didn't see docs but a good idea on live CDs is to ask permission to store a small file in an existing filesystem on the computer and use that to store state. In this case all you need would be a few dozen bytes to point to the database and get everything else there.)
