I'm a dumb-ass and somehow removed the line "apt-get install lirc" from 
the guide (still haven't figured out how that happened). Ergo, no irw, 
irxevent, etc. Fixed in the latest guide rev. The guide isn't yet set 
up for myth native lirc, but the next major release will be. This 
stupid job thing keeps getting in the way of my free time... ;p
