Gentoox HDTV support

This new script is infinitely better than the last, it uses routines instead of loads of repeated blocks of code (like in the previous version). It controls the linuxboot.cfg file, your .xinitrc file (for onscreen keyboard settings), the GDM Init file (again, for on screen keyboard), the XF86Config file (for overall XFree resolution) and the xbvinit file (for fine tweaking of the resolution). All files are patched dynamically, unlike before where several XF86Config files were needed to move into place when needed. The xbvinit file is only used for standard "TV" settings. Only 640x480 PAL/NTSC is available for Focus due to driver limitations.

All you have to do is run "magic" and everything will be automatically updated. I've been messing around with resolution settings all morning and the ones listed in xbvset are the ones that I could get working. Resolutions in brackets may not work since I lack the hardware to test them, however all XVKBD and XFCE4 resolution settings are set correctly for ALL modes:
TV: All resolutions
HDTV: (480p) - (720p)
X2VGA: 480p - 720x480, 1024x768 720p - (1024x768, 1280x720)

Please, give feedback on this - it's a MAJOR advancement so I expect there to be some compatibility issues. Also, please remember this release DOES include Focus support, but I've absolutely no way of testing it, so some feedback on this would also be much appreciated!
