Description:
	Adds LIRC support by using '.lircrc'.
	Refere to LIRCs documentation (http://www.lirc.org) to understand this concept.
	All received lircrc 'config' strings will be send to VDRs key translation
	map, after they where splittet in substrings if blanks or tabulators are
	present. Therfore you can write a complete 'key makro' in one 'config' string.
	You can use 'vdrs-remote-conf-to-lircrc <.../remote.conf >~/.lircrc' to
	get a raw translation of your possibly existent remote.(LIRC.)conf to a 
	'.lircrc' startup file. Next step should be to enable the 'repeat' option
	of the 'Up', 'Down' and so on keys (use wiht care!). Or you may simply start 
	with a copy of lircrc.demo (map the 'button' entrys to those matching your
	remote). You can test these files and your modifications with LIRCs ircat.
	Using this plugin with VDRs native LIRC support may cause confusions. One
	key press may cause the same action twice. Therfore you should have compiled 
	your VDR without LIRC support, but, if so, this plugin will kill VDRs LIRC 
	remote automaticly for interem solution (but e.g. the remote learnig mode
	can't be suppresed...).
	This plugin completly runs in the background. There's nothing present in the OSD.
	Any errors and so on will be reported througth VDRs log mechanism (syslog).
	Note: The most possible error is that $HOME isn't set at boot startup of VDR!
	Use the <config_file> argument or create a symblolic link at / to solve this. 

Options:
	-p <name>, --prog=<name>   name of 'prog' in .lircrc (default is 'VDR')
	-k,        --kill          do not kill VDRs LIRC Remote (default is to kill it)
	[<config_file>]            name and path of the config file (default is $HOME/.lircrc)
