irsend_directv plugin

Since a lot of people here in the U.S. have DirecTV, I
decided to
create a plugin to handle sending IR signals to a DirecTV
receiver.  So
far this plugin has worked quite well on my friend's Freevo
box.  I've
attached the plugin and a patch for config.py to add the
irsend_trans
setting, described below.

The setting "irsend_trans" has to be added to the
TV_VIDEO_GROUP which
belongs to the DirecTV external tuner to make everything
work correctly
with the IR transceivers that come with the Hauppauge MCE
Kits.  These
IR units have 2 blaster ports.  One port _should_ be
selected for use
with the DirecTV receiver.  The other port could be used
with a VCR or
other IR controlled unit.  If the IR port on the transceiver
isn't
selected, BOTH blasters fire (if connected), potentially
causing
improper behaviour of the DirecTV unit.

I'm working on moving the core IR functions out into a
separate plugin.

I need a feature request for this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=
add&group_id=46652&atid=446898
Unless you don't want it in svn.

There are tabs in the source code, Freevo uses 4 spaces.
