Using Infra-red (or any) remote controls with cygwin??

[Mark Aitchison]

Is there any way to use a remote control (e.g. an infra-red remote that 
comes with a TV tuner) with cygwin applications?
Preferably so that arrow and number keys can be used with standard X11 
applications (even better if odd keys like "Red" can be remapped), but 
I'd settle for any way to act on some keypresses from a distance on some 
box about the size of a remote rather than a full-sized keyboard. Any 
suggestions??
