This feature could maybe implemented by some kind of 'postexec'
function, which calls an external program/script with some parameters
whenever a recording or cutting thread is finished... Don't know though
if it can be done within a plugin or needs some modification in the core
VDR code.

One question was how to wake up VDR by the IR remote when it's powered
down. Some ATX boards can be modem triggered on the RI line of the COM
ports. Perhaps that's a possibility to connect the IR receiver.
