I've been working on the windows port of LIRC for a while now. Anyway I have some working plugins for the microsoft MCE receivers. Since the MCE hardware is capable of giving the raw IR signal, you can use any remote control with your MCE receiver, not just the bundled RC6 remote. This would certainly be a better option than people buying universal remotes. Hey, you could just buy a receiver and not bother with buying a remote ! When using other remotes you don't need to worry about the the remote automatically sending key presses to windows, or starting windows media centre lol. Most of the receivers winlirc supports actually allow you to use any remote control.
Anyway if only xbmc supported winlirc. Lirc is already supported, and the protocols are the same !
Heres the raw waveform captured with my MCE receiver. You can see the toggle bit highlighted
