As I said in the initial bug report, the descent freespace demo also doesn't
work.

There are a few things to understand when considering this problem:

* The joystick support in Wine only works when built for Leopard and above.

* Last I checked, the popular build of Wine by Mike Kronenberg was built for
Tiger and thus didn't include the joystick code.  This could have changed by
now -- it's been quite a while since I looked into this.

* When I poked through the Wine joystick code it looked like it might only
support somewhat newer versions of directx (v5 and up maybe?).  IL-2 for one
example uses an older version of directx.  Not being an expert on this
codebase, I could be mistaken.

I wouldn't disqualify IL-2 as a test case.  It works fine with USB sticks in
Windows and thus it should be supported in Wine.  It might not be the best case
to *start* with, but it's an extremely popular flight sim and worthy of
support.
