I believe the schematics for that on-board device are around the web somewhere BUT the cost of the parts and the time to make it would only save you a few $ vs buying it from Pulse-Eight.
If P-E comes out with a plugin for EventGhost (a must have for me) for the CEC & Remote I'll be purchasing both.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

It will just 'work' older TV's that don't just work, pop into the #pulse-eight irc channel to get the library updated with your tv's commands.
you will be able to rebind key's etc via xbmc's peripherals interface also.
CEC is a fixed implementation so there is only so much you can customise.
XBMC builds which work with windows _may_ be available now, the latest nightlies have cec support

I presume the CEC implementation will only work with the OpenELEC USB adapter, since modern GPUs don`t have hardware CEC support, right?

Ok, I've installed the latest nightly, but I can't find anything about CEC, and my remote isn't controlling XBMC. Do I have to do anything different to get it working? I installed the INF file, but the only change I've noticed in XBMC so far, is that under "Input Settings" there is a new menu item called "Peripherals". Is this something to do with CEC? Selecting it produces a blank dialog screen with a few titles in it.
If it matters, my setup is HTPC (Nvidia GT430) --> Openelec CEC Adapter --> Onkyo 705 --> Panasonic TX-P50VT20. All via HDMI.

Is there any possibility of turning the pc on/off by turning the tv on/off (for completely hiding the pc)?
