Comment (by nigel):

 The following allows the packager to build a LIRC-enabled binary, and it
 happily still works with the Apple remote, but that is because I haven't
 gotten the LIRC daemon to do anything but exit:

 I'm also still not happy about another setting for remote preference.
 There is likely to be 3 people in the whole world that would use. The
 "Apple" way for a Mac to ignore someone clicking an Apple Remote in the
 room is to unpair that remote in System Preferences!
