I still plan to make lots of changes to the rc-core API (I just have to 
convince Mauro first, but I'll get there). What I have done is to port 
your port of the msmce driver to the suggested rc-core subsystem I sent 
you in private a week or so ago, and it works fine (I've bought the 
hardware and tested it with 20 or so different protocols).

The subsystem I suggested is basically what I'm using as inspiration 
while working with Mauro in improving rc-core so msmce should work well 
with the end product...but there's still some ground to cover.

Porting the msmce driver to rc-core will be high on my list of 
priorities once I've done some more changes to the API.

Yes, and it was a great help to me at least...thanks :)
