It worked in 0.8.x and when I backported it. Maybe it got broken in the 
meantime. Since I don't work on that project anymore, it hasn't been 
high up on my priority list.

The idea was that when eg: over infrared someone pressed the same key 
multiple times that you wanted it to accelerate for some keys. Think of 
forward/backward if you are playing a DVD.

This piece of code is used inside a customer appliance. I don't think 
they are upgrading to latest unstable shortly, but it would have been 
nice if you contacted me about what to do with it before you ripped it out.
