Yeah! See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/input/joystick-parport.txt for
information on how to plug a REAL pad on your PC! ;)

Of course, some of the GUI's controls will be stuck to the keyboard or
mouse (like cursor moving, or text input). Maybe we could also add an

on SDL. When we reorganise the code (see my other mail) will be a good
occasion to cut the dependencies as much as possible too!
