Of course, I investigates this. The other engines are experimental, and I do
not think that is smart to compile on Fedora something what is "experimental"
;)
This is documented in config help:
----------------------------------------------
  --enable-xine-engine    Enable Xine engine support (default disabled)
  --enable-mplayer-engine Enable experimental MPlayer engine support (default
                          disabled)
  --enable-libvlc-engine  Enable experimental VLC library engine support
                          (default disabled)
  --enable-xine-lib-engine
                          Enable experimental xine-lib engine support (default
                          disabled)
  --enable-libgstreamer-engine
                          Enable experimental GStreamer library engine support
                          (default enabled)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But if you think that it is all right to be compiled with these engines, no
problem, I will compile :)

Me TV has own xine engine and xine-lib build inside itself. So, I think that it
do not need any xine dependency.

Does this program work without "xine" rpm  I still do not sure, but I'll
investigate this, too.

This is the part of Me TV's /src directory list:  
-----------------------------------------------------------------
  6200 2009-05-02 01:40 xine_engine.cc
  1554 2009-05-02 01:43 xine_engine.h
277256 2009-05-14 15:32 xine_engine.o
 12210 2009-03-27 13:45 xine_lib_engine.cc
  2209 2009-05-08 12:38 xine_lib_engine.h
 60648 2009-05-14 15:32 xine_lib_engine.o
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I investigated licenses for Me TV and Xine, and all of these sources are under
GPL license, so I can not find a reason why should not to be packaged for
Fedora repo.
