For ~$30 you can get a Microsoft XP MCE usb remote + USB receiver (and
emitter, although I don't believe the emitter is working yet).. works fine
with LIRC 0.7; I'm recreating a lircrc file for it (unless someone wants
to share theirs?) now.

The receiver for this remote is excellent - I can literally point the
remote any direction in the room, and it catches the signal.
