what happened to original author decides? ;)
i will run the uncopied parts through indent once i find the -unreadable
flag for it...

i tested beforehand with usbhidctl - and it needed r/w for just getting
the state there. so i assumed it is needed. i will just try it out.

Four with an potential xinput implementation.

Some of the functions had subtle changes; but i guess they could be
unified. if there where no FF the interface would be quite small:

- find them
- (un)acquire
- poll

I can not think of stuff, that get/setProperty would really need a
special implementation for. A common JoyDev struct could hold all vital
data; we could keep a private area for the "driver" around.

But i guess I can go with the "release" before this changes. We can cope
with the dups later on.

so my next steps are:

- fix above mentioned problems
- test with a TM cougar (6 axes, 28 buttons)
- test more games (GPL, NR2003 - especially ones, that needed patches in
  the linux parts some time ago: IL2 and RBR)

i head for a "release" on monday - if there are no show stoppers ahead,
of course.

BTW: no complains about the autoconf additions?
