Eventually there should be a run-time configuration option in lirc_sir  
to switch on the act200l support. That's how it is solved in the  
lirc_serial driver already.

There have been requests to change the behaviour to build all kernel  
modules for the "any" option. But this already has caused different  
problems.
My current suggestion would be to add a new option "all", that will  
build all user space drivers and all kernel modules and change back the  
"any" option to only compile the user space drivers.

Would that be ok for everybody?
