In a private thread with Christophe of Lirc Team, we think that's a good
solution. You just must signal the change to the lircd deamon, with a SIGHUP
signal. So something like a deamon started at the boot level would be a very
nice solution. And this deamon may be use for other reasons, so...

Thanks to wattazoum and many kudos to him ;)
