Tarball doesn't track 0.21-fixes

Description
mythtv-HOWTO-5, in all the methods it is distributed (official web page, tarball, and the copy that is on the mediawiki) is outdated. It contains the following advice:
<<The first is to download the latest release in tarball format and compile. The tarball release of MythTV should work on a wide variety of systems and should be the preferred method for new users.>>
Unfortunately, the tarball is not actively maintained, and is therefore outdated.

I wasn't really proposing more work for the devs to keep the tarball up-to-date. While an automated process for generating the tarball could be instituted, it seems unnecessary considering the ease of subversion use.
This can be easily resolved with the attached patches which suggest minor change to the documentation (some of which would be helpful regardless of an automated tarball generation).
Sorry for the gziped files - trac rejected the submissions because it contains URL's.

This may change with the next release.
The tarball is actively maintained on releases. It appears that it is not updated when 0.21-fixes is, however.
