Not to deflate any of these ideas, all of which are a lot easier than
trying to compile Apple events on another OS, but the original poster
wasn't trying to write Front Row for the PC:

All this requires is a telnet/ssh connection where you can login and
send the shell command "open /Applications/iTunes.app".  *Controlling*
it remotely is a different animal, but that's all you need to launch
iTunes.  If you have a shell session open, using "osascript" to send
iTunes events (as Takaaki Naganoya suggested) may be easier than any
other method of control, but you don't even need to get that complicated
to open the application from a remote login shell.  Just use "open".

(If you have decided to invite personal pain by moving iTunes out of the
/Applications folder, adjust your paths accordingly.)
