It is not that hard... what language do you use? i have some sourcecode in C that i could share with you.

But yeah, this really is what the QtIrreco guys were going after with their product. In fact, it may be the case that you can control multiple devices today with QtIrreco; I'm not sure, I never really used it that much.
Yes you can, and it is probably the only advantage qtirreco has over pierogi right now.
Personally i have dozens of boxes spread out that i only use a few buttons on each, and with qtireco i culd fit most of them in the same "remote" but when i got out of gui-space i also got into trouble and had to create new remotes for different places: like home1, home2 and so forth which got a bit messy when i had to change remote.

But certainly, there's no reason why Pierogi's keyset backend couldn't be connected to a more dynamic GUI. In fact, I suspect you could marry QtIrreco's front-end to Pierogi's data, if you really wanted to. Might be something to look in to...
Yes please
