[Howto] mceusb driver with lirc protocol instead of rc-6/devinput

Thank you!

After quite a bit of searching, this is exactly what I needed to get my Microsoft MCE 1039 remote to work with Xbian. There were a few other posts on the forums about this particular remote, but not many clear solutions (though this post looks equivalent).

It worked OOTB with Xbmcbuntu, so I assumed it would here too. Although the key mapping is a little different (I may still look into modifying it), it now works flawlessly! Until now only arrows and enter worked.
