Description
In its README, MythWeather? documents its dependency on perl and several perl modules. However, when MythWeather? runs its perl scripts, it nices them. However, the README does not document MythWeather?'s dependency on nice.
If the system does not have the 'nice' command, then MythWeather? fails and does not provide any useful error message indicating the reason. I maintain a small frontend only distribution (MiniMyth?). Until now, there has been no need for the 'nice' command so I had not included it. It took looking through the MythWeather? source to realize that MythWeather? requires the 'nice' command.

Probably not relevant to MiniMyth?, but mythfilldatabase, mythencode.pl, dvbradioexport.pl and ipodexport.pl also depend on nice or /bin/nice.
