I'm on Gentoo so I'm building Wine from source. The package hasn't been updated
for this feature yet but it is enabled by default anyhow and I can see it
picking up SDL2 during configure. I have tried XInputTest.exe, which works just
fine so plain XInput is working.

I should add that koku-xinput-wine did get this game working at one point
except that it seemed like I was unable to get the maximum acceleration. Maybe
it was my imagination but I would always do much better when playing with the
keyboard! Hopefully this issue will go away when it starts working under Wine
properly. With the recent changes, it is no longer possible to build
koku-xinput-wine.
