[mythtv] Help on changing mythsetup

[DBakker at arrayasolutions.com]

How about making it that if the external program in the input setup starts 
with LIRC then it will use LIRC? So the external program could be "LIRC 
RCA" to use LIRC and the RCA remote definition in lircd.conf.

It was in my first reply, but here it is again ;-) It's not in C++, just
straight C - I hope that isnt going to be an issue (it compiles just
fine), but it may be... Note, that in the source code the LIRC_WAIT is
set to 200000, I just had to bump it up to 300000 - something is
different in the way it changes channels from up/down to something
completely different.
