Ian Bird is in the process of building a PIC based intelligent IR repeater.
Currently he can (using the PIC) modulate the output from a TSOP onto a
38kHz carrier.  Sending the demodulated data from the PC should prove
easier
as the timing will be less critical (at 38kHz each peak is approx 26 micro
seconds long)

This may be a more viable option than the PCIR circuit.  Of course, Nigel's
555 based circuit as mentioned above should also work well.
