Correct.
(note that both come from a single project
directory called "mythtv" and don't allow building the frontend without
the backend or vice versa).
Incorrect. You can pass --disable-frontend and/or --disable-backend if
you want to make a FE-Only or BE-Only machine.
Yeah, if you don't want it to build. Those are porting only
options--they are /not/ valid options on Linux. See
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/configure?rev=7650 lines
2740 and 2747--and especially lines 2741 and 2748.

As a matter of fact, the same applies to
mythplugins--you need the same version of mythplugins as the version of
mythtv.
That's also incorrect. MythPlugins have to be built against the same
version of libMyth, but you can take an old version of the plugins
source, as long as it's built against the same version of libMyth as
the MythFrontend you are wanting to load them from.
Unless there are changes that break compatibility. This includes
incompatible changes to the myth protocol version, the DB schema
version, the libraries used by the plugins (i.e.
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/531 ), and ...
And, in /all/ cases, doing so is *not* a "supported"
configuration--which was the point I was trying to make. Unless, of
course, you're volunteering to provide support for all possible version
combinations users may wish to try.
