I don't like irxevent.  I don't want the remote to be able to type in my
xterms.  I look at irxevent as ebing a crude hack.  lircd has a nice way
to send different commands to different programs, and I think integrating
this with myth would be nice.  It'd make installation a bit easier, and
(I think) make the remote act more predictably when myth isn't the only
thing on the screen.

But it may be just me.  I don't actually expect anyone to write this, but
you seemed direly set on doing some coding, and I think an lirc driver
would be useful :)

As I said, I'll probably do it myself someday..but irxevent works, and
there are bigger fish to fry.
