Hi Simon,
I am reminded of Redrat (http://www.redrat.co.uk <http://www.redrat.co.uk/>) when I hear of IR woes. Haven't used it for a long time, but back when I did, it was phenomenal, and I am sure it encoded learnt IR codes into some form (xml/plain text? memory
fails here) that could be transferred to a new PC/device etc. as well as providing LIRC (http://www.lirc.org/) support. Friendly guy - might be well worth a chat for a technology brief...
Neel
