 Yes, and I have now made the update install docs and example remotes
too:

 Committing the update to ports will have to wait until after the
end of the slush tho I think since the liblirc_client.so shilb
version was bumped and there a few ports that depend on the old
version that will have to be updated as well.

 In other news, the usb ftdi support,

has been tested now, and it required the same workaround I had to
do for this mceusb device I tested here (making hw_default.c delay
trailing spaces until before the next pulse to get irrecord working),
that patch already was in my port update last time but for the benefit
of non-FreeBSD lirc users I've also put it here:
