I set it up over 5 years ago, so it may not be optimal, but I wrap
each emulator in a script which starts something like "irexec -d -n
sdlmame" and disables the screensaver.  Then lircrc contains entries
like:

begin
  prog = sdlmame
  button = Exit
  config = xmacroplay-keys :0 Escape
end

At the time irxevent wouldn't work with sdl applications like sdlmame.
 I'll investigate if that has changed.

However, that's not really relevant to my question, which is: Is there
a simple and respected way to get mythtv to call it's HaltCommand or
some other shutdown command/script from an LIRC signal without using a
separate application?
