According to posts I've found and this page

http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html

the USB-UIRT is supported.  The posts I found indicate it was added in=
 0.8.1.  According to 

/usr/share/doc/lirc-0.8.2/NEWS

USB-UIRT support showed up in 0.8.1

Strangely, I ended up with version 0.8.2 from the ATRPMS.NET site.  How is=
 it that there's a newer version at ATRPMS.NET than LIRC.ORG ?

The README says, "LIRC uses autoconf to make installation as easy as=
 possible for its users."  Sounds promising but I don't know anything about=
 autoconf or how to use it.  Would it be helpful?

Axel, you could really help me if you could point to a single document=
 somewhere that tells me what to do to configure lirc for the USB-UIRT in=
 there.  So far I haven't found anything.
