This patch allows you to send fake IR events to lircd, so that you can
control your lirc aware programs (like mplayer) from another program (like
an X10 remote) or cron or whatever.

Note that the syntax is a bit weird.
Look at lircd.conf, and if you have
begin remote
  name  Hauppauge
(...)
  5                        0x0000000000001005

you can send commands as such:
irsend SEND_RELAY "0000000000001005 00 5" Hauppauge
                                    ^^
			always 00 as far as I can tell

The patch is from Karl Bongers <karl@turbobit.com>
