lircrc is not the same as /etc/lircd.conf

there unfortuneately any real documentation on it yet. I went through
the old steps of creating a remote.py so I can run the convertor script
in the helpers directory.

In general the file is a translation table to convert stuff from your
/etc/lircd.conf into the names freevo expects in its code.

mine has several entries looking like this:
begin
    prog = freevo
    button = NUM_TWO
    config =  UP
end

where  button is the /etc/lircd.conf name and config is what it maps to
in freevo.

I mapped my number area since I don't think it is used by freevo. So i
have UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT as 2, 8, 4, 6 respectively. I then mapped
some vcr buttons to the appropriate functions for REW, PLAY, FFWD,
PAUSE, and STOP.

I also then mapped five on my numeric keypad to SELECT. I then picked
another random button for EXIT, and  finally mapped the channel changer
buttons to CH+ and CH-.

HTH,
