 Hi...
 
 I totally forgot about this PR. I am still interested in a solution. Someone 
 has added a [patch] tag. I don't have a patch for this, because it's an RFE.
 
 I have written an application that uses a joypad. And now I'm stuck, because I 
 need at least 4 buttons.
 
 The struct I mentioned there needs to be changed somehow to begin 
 updating/implementing drivers. I don't have enough joypads and joysticks to 
 decide how to do it correctly. I've seen joysticks that have more than one 
 analog stick and joypads that have more than one digital cross.
 
 This is a question of design. I would like to wait how you decide about it.
 
 (Btw, thanks for closing my 2 old PRs.)
